And, second, I think you have to restate the question which keeps popping up with vouchers and federal money.

Before this email from Gov. Bush, the question was:

Will federal money for vouchers result in mandatory testing in private schools, and therreby change the nature of private schools?

But, now, I think a more accurate question may be this:

Will federal money for vouchers result in mandatory testing of some students in private schools -- and, does this necessarily change the nature of private schools?

Because the way it is implemented in FL, I think the answer is NO. Private schools are still private schools -- not all students are required to be tested; the scores are for the parents' use (not for the purpose of being published as public info), and, the private schools are NOT graded (like the public schools).

Larry, See my post #29. Before I get clobbered by capecodder, did I make any sense to you at least? :)

(No offense, capecodder - I am still batting over .500, since 2 of the 3 voucher programs do NOT test!)
