1) Republicans tend to be right on 1 with huge opposition from Democrats.
3) Testing = feedback. I hear a lot of complaints that Republicans are pushing too much testing. Testing during the year gives feedback teachers can, but often don't, use, to help individual students. Testing at the end of the year is a good way to get data on a teacher's performance.
4) I think both parties are against this. It would require more money, ruling out Republicans. It would require more of the teachers, ruling out the Democrats.
Cory Booker and Kevin Johnson should be rising Dem stars, but both have relatively low ceilings because of their ties to school reform. Thanks to an assist from Chris Paul, KJ looked great during the Sterling mess, but his marriage to former DC Chancellor Michele Rhee will make it difficult for him to be elected Senator or Governor in California.
