The Department of Education fosters educational excellence, and ensures equal access to educational opportunity for all. The Department of Education could help by regulating tests and testing standards in order to ensure each student is actually learning and not just memorizing stuff to take a test.

If a student moves from state to state their knowledge might be different than that of other students. This does not mean they are less intelligent, but based on test results they are.

We want to get rid of state testing and implement the same tests across all 50 states. All tests will be project based and will require students to use their brains to think strategically and thoughtfully.
