Sorry, just saw this. From March 2, Bush speech.
Susan
Fourth graders are reading better. They've made more progress in five
years than the previous 28 years combined.
They need to hear from us over and over that this is a lie.
In math, 9-year-olds and 13-year-olds earned the highest scores in the
history of the test.
Dunno about this.
I happen to believe that we ought to take the same accountability that
we've got in elementary and junior highs, and get it to high school,
just to make sure; to be able to say with certainty the high school
diploma that somebody gets really means something, that it's working.
aka high school tests.
when a child is in a school and has fallen behind -- a Title I child
-- there's going to be extra money for tutoring.
SES money is snatched from the schools Title I. Its NOT extra.
We put forth what's called opportunity scholarships for families of
the poor students, so their family, if the school isn't meeting needs,
can afford to go to a different kind of school.
aka vouchers
