Dungy, Gwendolyn; Peck, Adam – Journal of Campus Activities Practice and Scholarship, 2019
As costs have risen, colleges and universities have faced more stiff competition from each other to attract students.

Howland, Jonathan – Independent School, 2014
Author Jonathan Howland writes here that he is hardly the first to suggest that much of the testing going on in the educational system today appears dumb. The tidal change that brought schools the Common Core standards is a maneuver born of an admission: educators took their eye off the ball, testing for too much of the wrong thing--thin skills…
