States are not meeting their reponsibilities under NCLB.  You want to  pin 
that on the Bush administration, more power to you.  However, that is  precisely 
the argument that the NAACP rejected so scathlingly in the Connecticut  case. 
 
If you think the states should spend more money inspecting SES providers,  
come right out and say so.  Don't blame the Bush administration when states  cop 
out on their parents and kids.  That is the real sophistry here.

Yeah, Art, the feds say the state must/shall/will do all  this
good stuff.

Easy for them to say.  With whom will the  states do this?  We
have more capacity to search each cargo container  arriving in
the U. S. by ship than we do for determining if the  SES
providers are doing what they claim they can do.  Illinois  has
one person to oversee all providers. Most states are not much
better  off.  All that "the state should/shall/will" crap from
the feds is  just that.

Crap.  

In addition to which, I doubt there are  ANY SES providers who
have the data that would permit them to be approved  by
providing evidence of "scientifically based research."   They
have no data on how well their tutoring works, but  they're
permitted to roll right along anyway.

Double standard,  anyone?
