Hold on To Your Hats!
Hold on to your hats... another seemingly objective forum by the Public Education Network is taking place this week, this time devoted to releasing "results" from three years of "surveys" about No Child Left Behind. PEN director Wendy Puriefoy once insisted in a public forum that school choice had no place in a democracy (go figure). We can only imagine what the public PEN purports to have surveyed and what it will have to say about NCLB. Meanwhile, groups truly concerned with civil rights and education have asked Congress to hold fast on accountability standards and not fall prey to requests to create a hodgepodge of measurements that could mask the real achievement gaps. Those gaps persist, but are now clearly recognizable thanks to sunshine and state requirements to test, which, while not perfect, have actually raised education to a level where even presidential candidates must take a stand on the hard issues.
