RANGER 1, IF YOU THINK THAT OTHER POSTERS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DEGREE TO WHICH GOVERNMENT HAS INTRUDED AND DEGRADED PUBLIC EDUCATION, YOU ARE NOT READING FOR COMPREHENSION. THE DEGREE TO WHICH I NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT I DO AND DON'T UNDERSTAND IN THESE MATTERS IS THE SAME DEGREE TO WHICH I NEED MORE GOVERNMENT INTRUSION.
KINDLY GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING SHOULD BE TIED TO THE OUTCOMES OF STANDARDIZED TESTING, AND ONE GOOD REASON WHY ANY CURRICULUM SHOULD BE DRIVEN BY, OR TOWARD, A STANDARDIZED TESTING SCHEME.
IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR SOME TO UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT, BUTA LOT OF REALLY GREAT EDUCATING OCURRED LONG BEFORE ANYONE EVER DREAMED OF NCLB AND SCAB OR THE CC. IT IS NOT A SOLUTION - IT IS ANOTHER STEP ON THE DOWNWARD STAIRWAY.
