Well...sort of but NCLB doesn't work, it was instituted with good intentions. Race to the Top is a big deal and so far seems to be working. Also the part about not just memorizing but being analytical. That's where other countries have beat us in the past. It's become a big focus for us now.

Didn't get the same message.

Seemed like he's shifting away from test-score based "Blame teachers," to blaming the parents.

I wonder if we will ever move on to the fact the the high school curriculum is total garbage and to blame.

Parents and teachers can both be blamed in many situations.

So many exams are based on memorization, though. Just throw up the facts all over the exam and walk home.

Not anymore. They are formulating tests that now require 3rd graders to explain their thinking/answer on standardized tests.
