SNIP..."Gov. Jeb Bush has asked a Texas program to analyze Florida schools using more than just the state's standardized education test and to suggest more changes to improve the quality of education, a newspaper reported.

The program, known as Just for The Kids, compares not just test scores, but also weighs differences such as wealth, race and language skills, the Orlando Sentinel reported Saturday....."

Luce's company, Just for Kids, has a goal of grouping schools "demographically". I have not been able to find the details. Would this mean separate schools for varied classes?
Don't know. But they are up to something.

I have been surprised how many here actually do not believe in a free and equal education for everyone. That is their right. As a long time teacher, I do believe in it. This new thing of Jeb's is scaring the heck out of me!
