…out of a sow’s ear is an old saying, but applicable here to describe the continued damage of No Child Left a Mind…which has not improved the public schools, and in my opinion, made them worse.

You cannot test potential.

You cannot eliminate arts and music from education.  Arts and music teach creative expression.  It’s with creativity that one can imagine solutions to problems that one might not have otherwise thought of.  Teaching to the test only teaches children to memorize answers, not think creatively or outside the box.

Politicians have no business setting education standards.  It’s obvious by continuing the failed policy of No Child Left Behind that they don’t have a clue.
