Good luck sorting the rhetoric from the reality, and deciding which approach you feel will put our nation on the most solid path to a bright and prosperous future.
Love,

Re: “Many vouchers spent on low-rated schools”
Hi, Scott. I'd love to read a Perspectives in Education submission that goes into more details about the testing issues you've raised here, if you are up for it.
