Re: burr & gregg introduce bush nclb reauth bill

I doubt expansion of testing will go anywhere. And I'd be surprised if they 
delete the 'other' option. I think it mostly represents a block of some Sen 
republicans (and will be in house too) that will vote in committee against 
most changes we would want. No surprise there. Whether trading can go on, I 
do not know - I expect many Dems will support opening doors to merit pay, as 
Burr does, so they may not even have to trade to get it!
