3. i have no problem with that, but NCLB is a disaster |

So does Japan by the way

4. But not all their kids get the world-class education |
|
Only the top 25% or so.
"Accountability" is a code for "blame all social ills -- poverty, racism, poor funding -- on the teachers."

6. Problem is that's not what he said |
|
and I am all for testing kids, but the exchange for that is a world class education
This is not what they are getting right now
Not the top 25%
Or the bottom 75%
Perhaps the top 2%

Yeah, OK, it looks like that plan for a two tier schooling system will continue unabated.
