Thank you for the interview - nice to read.

I am very concerned about how the Common Core is being implemented in our area. So far, a G&T teacher has been pulled away from her duties to instead help struggling students meet the new standards (leaving the G&T students without a G&T teacher), and advanced math classes might be cut (because they are now "unnecessary" due to the Common Core standards). The standards seem to have our schools in a tizzy, but the G&T students still need to be challenged.
