You must have mandatory testing. You must say that if you receive money, you must show us whether or not children are learning to read and write and add and subtract. That's the difference. You may claim you've got mandatory testing, but you don't, Mr. Vice President. And that is a huge difference.
Testing is the cornerstone of reform.
Because it's the cornerstone of reform in the state of Texas. And we've done a long way working together to do so. And the cornerstone is to have strong accountability and return for money. We encourage parents to take a look at the comparative results of schools. We've got a strong charter school movement that I signed the legislation to get started in the state of Texas.
