Wow! Great news, livius! As I said on another thread, it's really an exciting time to teach in Florida.

This was the guy who interviewed Jeb on the cruise, right? Great article. I do worry, though, because some of our testing (our old testing program was called MSPAP and was thrown out because people downtown weren't improving lol) caused our teachers to go crazy, absolutely crazy. We were tested 3rd, 5th, and 8th, and I remember they got so tense, we had classes that were basically test prep classes, and I got tension headaches. I agree that accountability is needed, and if you need to bring up desperately failing schools, you need testing. But I hope he doesn't take it too far.
