“The schools are hamstrung by GW Bushes no child left behind kaka rules.”

I guess that I don’t know the rules, but if you’re referring to testing, I don’t have a problem with it. I’ve seen the tests here in Texas on math and if you can pass the test you know the subject. If teachers are “teaching to the test” then they are teaching math - which is a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT in education.

I believe there was a question of some students who didn’t test well being put into SE classes so their scores didn’t didn’t pull the average down.

Nope, but if you like testing I would think that you would want all schools to take the same test so that we can learn who is really doing a better job and why.
