Just wanted to note that Hot Air posted a very similar view on the fraud and theft discovered in public education testing to the one I posted yesterday. A key snippet: Evidently state level investigations into Georgia public schools are nothing new, but the new revelations of the attempt to defraud test score results merely […]

Sometimes, the best way to defeat someone is to hand them rope and let them run amok until the self destruct. When a flawed concept goes from fantasy theory into implementation, hard reality is the best weapon to burn off naive ideas and assumptions.
