"...we are a nation of laws..."

However, this and thousands of other things we are instructed to do is policy, with rules dreamed up and controlled by unelected bureaucrats.

There are several thousand too many laws, today, followed by hundreds of thousands of policy rules, local statutes, etc.

I agree with the poster who said let them get privately tested.

Having taken part in standardized school testing, I can say that it varies a lot. I once taught for an unprincipled principal who rammed the test through in one day instead of two morning sessions. By lunch, the kids were just marking answers, not even reading the questions because they were tired. Other places, it has been taken seriously and administered properly. After all this, I would not trust the Waltham, Mass. testing.

Too much Law, not enough Order, says I.
