State schools Superintendent John Barge defends Georgia's adoption of Common Core to the House Committee on Education on March 5, 2014.

July 27, 2014Amid last week’s runoff election, there was a lot of discussion about who will be Georgia’s next state school superintendent. Readers share their view of the results of the runoff, while I focus on John Barge, the man who now holds the job and whose imminent departure frees him up to speak out a bit. Also, I recently asked educators about whether technology is improving education. And an educator explains how technology-enabled reforms, such as “flipped classrooms,” have enhanced learning.
