Actually you bring up a very interesting point. I teach in Virginia and according to the new standards of learning, if a school district or school fails to meet a certain set of benchmarks, certification will be pulled. These (along with scores of other regulations) are scheduled to be fully implemented in 2007.

Personally, I think it's smoke and mirrors and a lawsuit waiting to happen. What if a student makes all passing grades and fails the SOL's? Will he really be denied a diploma? Would the state government de-certify a school system on the level of Richmond city schools? It would devastate the economy.

But at least the politicians look like they are doing something.

Thanks for posting this. Aside from some of the nuttier posts on here, this has been educational. If I ever had kids I would either home school them or send them to private school, and maybe even a Catholic school, although I am not of that denomination. The public schools are a joke, full of people with agendas, but not overflowing with Christians nor of teachers with sincere concern for their education, the very reason the children are there. Throw in sex-ed, and the whole enterprise stinks to high heaven. As for the other poster who thinks Genesis and the other 65 books are a joke, I've got a punchline waiting on you on J-day; see you there!!!
