Shouldn't you be able to see the price of something before you buy it, so you can shop for value or simply figure out whether you can afford it? Before you roll your eyes and say, 'Of course,' think about the last time you bought medical care, especially
I am replying to Rep. Trey Radel's recent commentary criticizing the Common Core Standards, which are being implemented in Florida and schools across the country.
