Sending money to school districts and establishing a standard test for a nationally recognized HS diploma are two very different things.

Sending money to school districts and establishing a standard test for a nationally recognized HS diploma are two very different things.

I think many people don't grasp that state/regional standards for curricula and a general standard for a HS diploma have never been the objective. Nor does NCLB include that.

You should read more about your state/regional accreditation organizations. By placing this testing in federal hands, you're advocating giving control to Hitlery and her minions in 2009. You're saying that's just fine.

How will you feel if Jocelyn Elders becomes Secretary of Education and decides we need to test children for their comprehensive skills in advanced masturbation and global hotting? Will your little federal diploma taste so sweet after that?
