In reply to the discussion: Obama to heckler: "Show me some courtesy" [View all]knitter4democracy

Just sayin'.
It seems like you're really reaching here. The system you say we should use is exactly what we did use only to be told by the Powers That Be that it wasn't accurate or real and therefore had to be replaced by standardized tests.
The grant money, from everything I've seen, cannot be used to pay for very many teachers, if any, and districts get more bang for their buck if they use it for supplies or technology, etc. Remember, 80% of the average school district's budget (and often more) goes toward staff pay and benefits. If you need to cut anywhere, that's the only realistic place to cut.

Great response. That's what I think of hecklers, even when I like the position of them.
