The biggest problem with the bill is that it attempts to apply the Texas system, built up of myriad small, and a few not so small changes, over many years, to the rest of the coutnry all at once. Things don't work that way. People need time to adapt to changes, especiall those imposed from above. It has improved performance considerably in Texas. This opinion is from my wife, who is a teacher of teachers at a small college in Texas.

I think that on the surface it's a great idea, but it has to be tweaked to make it reasonable & fair to the teachers as well as the students. I'll give him an A for effort/intent but I would have to give it a D- for actual application.
