Recently NPR reported on the results of two different national polls on the American public’s views toward the new Common Core curriculum. A PDK/Gallup poll, conducted in May and June of this year, showed opposition by almost two-to-one, 60 percent to 33 percent. A poll for a Harvard journal, Education Next, conducted in the same two-month time frame, found two-to-one support, 53 percent to 26 percent.
How does a seasoned journalist handle such contradictory results? CONT.
