Re: Still grinning...

My satisfaction with this article is not because I want anybody to look
silly. I'm elated that the Houston Chronicle *finally* printed an
article that implies that things might be a little strange. Who told Rod
Paige to overrule the school board's decision?
The Texas Education Agency, maybe?

My elation is due to the fact that parents in the
Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area may read the article and start asking
questions, which would lead them to the Texas chapter of the Resistance.
So many people I have approached with the testing issue have said "I'm
not worried, my kid did just fine." Hopefully they will start thinking
about this, maybe just a little...

Keep up the good work, Karen. I wish I had the patience to try to ride
it out with the school system. But I can't teach to a test given once a
year. It's wrong.

Hey, I just gave the propane guy one of our cards. He seems interested!
Wow!
