Agree

No, my state’s current standards exceed the Common Core standards

Slightly disagree

Yes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation

Therefore, his agreement with this statement would likely have been lukewarm at best.

Disagree

Yes, I support the concept but not the current implementation

Given that Ford's presidency predates the Common Core initiative, it's difficult to predict his stance on its implementation. However, as a Republican, he might have been skeptical of federal involvement in education, which could have extended to the implementation of national standards.

Yes, national standards will help improve our national average and better prepare students for college
