implementing in the US:

1: All about the test score
2: For profit education.

Yes I'm wrong for saying it or criticizing.

"silence is the voice of complicity"
I have a button featuring those words.
And that is why I joined Veterans For Peace

Yes, I like that, too.

So true.

It is considered Obama hating to point out that he is pushing Bush policies.

That is just ridiculous, and I will keep posting even if no one cares.

... Why is he still the head of the education system in this country? Anyone who advocates privatization of our public school system is a cut-throat capitalist who doesn't give a damn about the education of America's children.

he draws great media attention as a basketball star and buddy of the man who hired him. I wonder if either is truly aware of the havoc created.

... if they know what they have done/have begun. I say no, unless their minds have been deranged by $$$.

I refused to give to Obama's campaign or work on it, though I did vote for him. I have no problem with working and donating on a state level, but until the national Dems stop attacking public education, it's not happening.

A lot.

In fact even in the early 2000s Democrats would not have allowed Bush policies to be steamrolled into effect as they are now.

It's truly a Democratic Party thing happening to education right now. They own it, and someday people will realize what it is like without a public education system.

The gangsters need ignorance to rule.

It's only learning what the testing companies in all their "wisdom" decide is to be covered.
