I don't care what he said on the 60 Minutes segment, his teachers are teaching the test. His, and other superintendent's, idea of parent involvement is to drill and kill TAAS objectives with their children at night. Our children are the sacrificial lambs. In Paige's defense, I wouldn't like anyone GWB would pick for Secretary of Education because that person will GWB's values and philosophy. I want there to be accountability, but I want accountability for all programs.
Local control is fine if local districts are implementing programs as they are supposed to.
Unfortunately, for the programs that aren't part of the accountability rating system, there is no enforcement. All rights reserved.
