States Worry New Law Sets Schools Up to Fail


"What happens is you create a situation where there are so many schools failing that there is no support for them," said Paul Houston, executive director of the 14,000-member American Association of School Administrators. "The administration likes to talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations and how this law fights that. But what about the hard bigotry of high expectations without adequate resources?"

You know what they're doing... by setting the standards as so unattainable there will be a major push to privitize the school system. They will point and say... "see the public school system just does not work. We must let the market do what the public sector has failed to do." The idea is to undermine public education--no child left behind, because most children will just be left for good.

New Clinton?
I don't know, but I do think that being southern is a big plus. And i'm terrified of it being Liberman because I won't vote for him.
