Why McCain will Win

[Renwood]

It makes the main goal less about teaching and more about making the numbers look good. I think the worst thing is how it discourages any attention to programs that aren't directly tied to pushing up test scores. Gifted classes' budgets here are laughable, and Special Ed, given how fucked the weighting on grading is for the population, are being used more or less to hide the racial gaps in test scores.

Its discouraging to see how education is turned more and more into a business.

WHAT??? This bill must pass ASAP!

Unfortunately, that is not the bill that passed. What passed was Webb's(?) bill because it pandered more and delivered less.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. And your reviving of threads too.
