Re: Fw: YouTube clip of Edwards NCLB comments in Iowa

Perish the thought that a politician would be politicin' on the 
campaign trail.  We all know that Democratic candidates criticizing 
NCLB in front of the NEA were oh so sincere and not politicin' either.  
Still, you might be on to something, because I have to admit that when 
Edwards said, "We've got to stop treating teachers like potted plants," 
 -  "paranoid" was not the first word that came to mind.   John 
Madison, eat your heart out.

Art,


John Edwards doesn't strike me as a paranoid sort and HE says it's a 
plot to
privatize.  Doesn't sound like he's just politickin' to me.

Worth listening for two minutes to see how someone who made millions
persuading others (juries) frames our concerns -- hardly perfect, but a
nice, folksy approach with tinges of radicalism.

In addition, I would note he popularly and quickly hits many of the 
themes
found in the Joint Statement on NCLB - multiple measures, growth 
measures,
help not punishment, relying on and empowering teachers; and he notes 
use of
NCLB to promote privatization. He also uses language we actually often 
use
(I certainly do).

And this is not a campaign plug, simply an observation.
