1. WOW, does that mean I can get a job teaching now?

never mind, we'll see

[roody]

2. There will be a job TESTING. "Achievement" is code for testing.

3. i have no problem with that, but NCLB is a disaster

see, the UK and Germany test their kids to national standards and provide with world class education

So does Japan by the way

[Nevernose]

4. But not all their kids get the world-class education

Only the top 25% or so.

"Accountability" is a code for "blame all social ills -- poverty, racism, poor funding -- on the teachers."

6. Problem is that's not what he said

and I am all for testing kids, but the exchange for that is a world class education

This is not what they are getting right now

Not the top 25%

Or the bottom 75%

Perhaps the top 2%

5. "Now with new improved reform and yummy crunchy charter schools"

Yeah, OK, it looks like that plan for a two tier schooling system will continue unabated.

7. You know what I want to see? A European patterned system

right now the system has failed... and I do partially blame the RIGHT WING and the PTAs
