NOW THE EVIDENCE IS IRREFUTABLE…
While America was asleep at least three groups have moved to control American Education:
Group one, the most damaging, is motivated by gaining access to the tax dollars citizens pay for public education. They hide behind a pretense of serving children and building America’s future. They are ruthless pirates who have no allegiance to anything but their own wealth and power. They are often hedge fund managers.

If you devise tests that are designed to fail children and their teachers, you will motivate them and purge the profession – or so this tragic way of thinking plays out.
Let’s tap Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s clear definition of the direct antithesis of the “reformer’s NEVER AGAIN! NOW THE EVIDENCE IS IRREFUTABLE…:
