the content. Another DU member linked it for me. This OP is important as
it demonstrates very well the disconnect of an advanced quality
based education with all the safe guards in place. i.e. teachers with

Arnie Duncan's policies regarding testing as a means of teaching.

I cross posted this in the education group, it's an excellent read.
