96 Quotes by Campbell Brown

Every education law should be based around the question, 'Is this good for children?' And it's not.

I had a moment where I left journalism, and I started getting interested in this issue and writing about it, where I felt there was a right side and a wrong side around a lot of these issues relating to education.

Whenever someone says to me, 'Are you for or against Common Core,' the first question I ask is, 'What do you think Common Core is?' You will get a different answer from every single person. You will literally get a different answer.

To some people, Common Core means what it actually is, which is a set of standards. That's not necessarily most people. To other people, Common Core is a new curriculum that's been implemented at their school that they don't understand. It's applying new teaching tools.

Common Core isn't a test, but for some people it is, because they don't like the testing piece of it.

The thing that bothers me about journalism is the false equivalency we sometimes place on certain issues.

I didn't get interested in education until I had kids.
