Who is saying anything about fear of change. I'm saying if you're goiing to have change, it should be objective and measureable. You can specify the specific goals, ie., kids should be able to do x y or z by grade ___. Then use an objective measure to assess it.
What I'm saying is that look at the last debacle. What happened was that the ideologies took over. We're seeing the same with the so-called No Child Left Behind legislation. Its not about what is best for the kid, its more what is best for a particular ideology. From what I've seen so far, I think that the whole thing is designed to ruin public education. larry On 10/6/05, Cameron Childress <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/6/05, Larry C.
