Hillary Clinton is planning a huge break with Obama on education | Vox

At a round-table with the American Federation of Teachers members in New Hampshire last week, Clinton criticized some of the major planks of the Obama administration's education policy. She also embraced the teachers unions' preferred solutions, including more federal money to educate students living in poverty and those with disabilities.

Here's what Clinton said, according to a recently released transcript from the AFT, and how it would be a break with what Obama has done:

Clinton opposes evaluating teachers on test scores

"I have for a very long time also been against the idea that you tie teacher evaluation and even teacher pay to test outcomes," Clinton said. "There's no evidence. There's no evidence. Now, there is some evidence that it can help with school performance. If everybody is on the same team and they're all working together, that's a different issue, but that's not the way it's been presented."

This is a direct shot at Obama's education policy. The Education Department pushed states to adopt policies that would link teachers' professional evaluations in part to their students' test scores.
