Re: [arn2-strategy] Sen. Clinton Questions NCLB Testing Emphasis
BothhHilary and Obama are so tight with corporate interests, I don't see
much hope. I admit I didn't vote for Clinton because of their
Standardista policy in Arkansas. After all, Bill and Lou Gerstner joined
hands to bring home America 2000 for Bush the elder.
And Center for American Progress wrote Obama's big speech on education.
They want to test more rigorously than NCLB currently does.

As Stan Karp points out in the current Rethinking Schools, Hillary
Clinton has also said she would vote for renewing NLCB. The question
is, how to hold her to making the kinds of changes that would make her
talk here (and similar ones in OH and NH) walk - to say she will not
vote for reauth unless and until the federal law has been thoroughly
overhauled. Obama, Stan, points out, has not been particularly better,
and he too is on the Senate HELP committee, as is Sen Dodd, also
running for president. Other candidates, according to the most recent
I have heard, also lack specifics on their websites.

CLINTON QUESTIONS EMPHASIS ON TESTING
Associated Press -- June 9, 2007
by Henry C. Jackson
CLINTON QUESTIONS EMPHASIS ON TESTING
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton criticized the No
Child Left Behind education program Saturday, saying its emphasis on
testing puts American students in danger of losing their creative
edge.
"I think that we are in danger of narrowing the curriculum and
leaving
children behind," Clinton said Saturday. "That's the very opposite of
what they said would happen."
Clinton voted for No Child Left Behind, President Bush's signature
education policy, in 2001, but has since been a sharp critic. She
said
the program's emphasis on testing is diluting resources from other
valuable areas of education.
That will be a problem for the country going forward, she said.
"Part of the reason America was always in the forefront of the World
Economy is that we're the innovators ... it's because we have
creative
learners, we have people who learned to get around obstacles, they
didn't go in a straight line."
Clinton spoke at a campaign event in Indianola, where she helped
raise
money for state lawmaker Sen. Staci Appel. At the end of the event
Appel, who is serving her first term in the Legislature, said she was
endorsing Clinton's presidential bid.
Clinton gave a version of her stump speech before taking a handful of
questions from a crowd of about 300 people.
One woman, a college student studying music, asked Clinton what she
would do to ensure there was room for music education in public
schools.
Clinton said she was a big supporter of music and other creative
venues
in school.
"Anyone who's ever heard me sing, knows, I can't sing," she said.
"It's
a shame. I always sound great to my ears. ... But I love music, and I
cherish music, and I think back to my own years at school when the
music
teachers would come into our classroom."
Clinton said music and art can help unlock hidden potential in some
students.
"Music and art, and exposure to different set of cultural experiences
can ignite such a creative passion and imagination in some
people," she
said. "I worry that No Child Left Behind with its emphasis on
tests ...
is going to weed so many kids out."
