What If, This Year, American Students Get The Highest Test Scores?
President Obama's education speech was inspiring. Will students do better this year from that inspiration?

if it the water down the test. In TX the administrations only care about the test scores, not learning.

3. not with NCLB in place

5. Inspiration is EXACTLY what our kids need right now
Leave it to the Repukes to completely miss the point.

Can anyone pinpoint any inspiration that came out of BushCo in 8 years? Bueller? Bueller?

7. That little thought crossed my mind for some reason, as I watched
