Interesting NPR story this morning.  Bush's former Secretary of Education was interviewed and she's changed her position on No Child Left Behind and this morning she stated that Race to the Top is taking us on the wrong path.  She's now stating that competition and high stakes testing are detrimental to education.....

It is good to see that someone in government, especially in education, can see that a program is not working as intended and is willing to do something about it.

Far too often do politicians only see what is on the tip of their nose. This short-sighted way of policy is affecting the classrooms negatively, as usual, and it is not for years until they do something about it.

Thanks for the great information
