because i'm not talking about vouchers, but about the state test bush
substituted for the nat'l one texas students couldn't pass. parents in texas
are complaining about how much teaching time is devoted to getting kids to
pass a once-yearly test rather than actually teaching them. this fact has
been well-publicized for months, and, if you notice, you don't recently hear
anything from bush except his 4th-grade-aftro-american-readers brag. before
the "facts" (re his much touted success in texas with rising test scores)
were scrutinized, bush bragged long and hard about the huge leaps in
education in texas. turns out the leaps were not improvement inspired.
