I know this thread will result in some posts of 'get the government out of education,' but what I am trying to highlight here is the following...

Actually, I think you idea is a good one. Short of getting government out of education, this idea seems to be one that might return the classroom to a semblence of a place of learning.

Now, if only we can get the curriculum fixed as well... I guess you take what you can get. Hopefully, more people will speak in favor of your proposal.

Tuor, thank you very much for your entire post #5! :)

BTW, FL has done a lot in the area of improving the curriculum on a statewide basis, and aligning curriculum objectives with testing.
