behind the times.

43 states at this point have waivers exempting them from NCLB. Exemption is a tool to move Obama's version of education, of teacher and student destruction, forward, because to get those waivers, states have to accept more high-stakes testing.

While the poem is strong and lovely, the dysfunctions aren't going to go away until high-stakes testing deforms do.
