Bill Gates: Common Core Not a Federal Takeover of SchoolsSunday, 16 Mar 2014 10:51 AM, By Greg Richter Microsoft founder Bill Gates says opposition to the Common Core education standards is based on a lack of understanding, and he thinks they eventually will be a "big win" for education in the United States. The controversial new standards for math and language have been adopted by 45 states with $4 billion in funding from President Barack Obama's stimulus package. But some of those states, including New York, have begun to back away as teachers and parents have complained they are being poorly implemented. Conservative groups have complained that the national standards amount to a federal takeover of the education system. www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/bill-gates-common-core-schools/2014/03/16/id/559804/
