I love finding out what people think about the state of affairs in education. Over and over again, I meet people who are disgusted with the top ad nauseam testing and consequent labels put on our young.
One father, an ex-UAL pilot who got laid off, told me that he thinks this country is 'Hooked on Phonics" and cannot think. I was shocked at his comment for he hit the nail on the head.
After 12 years of NCLB and now the Duncan/Obama agenda, nothing has changed. In fact, it has gotten worse.
If we are not careful, we will have a nation of BORGS living in an Orwellian world.
