Ron DeSantis

Very strongly agree

No, education should be handled at the state and local level instead of the national level

DeSantis has repeatedly argued that education should be controlled at the state and local level, not by the federal government. His actions in Florida, including removing Common Core, align directly with this position.

Strongly agree

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

DeSantis has claimed that Florida's new standards (BEST) are superior to Common Core, suggesting he would agree that his state's standards exceed the national ones. However, his main argument is about local control rather than just superiority.

Agree

No, teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing

DeSantis has criticized 'teaching to the test' and the uniformity of Common Core, suggesting some agreement with individualized education. However, his main focus is on state control rather than pedagogical philosophy.

Agree

No, it is a waste of time and effort to change my state’s current educational standards

While DeSantis did overhaul Florida's standards, he has criticized the disruption caused by Common Core and has implied that unnecessary changes are wasteful. However, he did support changing standards when he felt it was necessary, so his agreement is moderate.

Disagree

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

Strongly disagree

Yes, I support the concept but not the current implementation
