Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment?

NCLB requires states to improve their schools until all children achieve to high standards. ARN and whacky outfits like FairTest blame NCLB because districts and states are gaming the system to make themselves look good instead of looking out for the best interests of parents and kids. This defies experience and common sense. Art
