Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., that would allow federal dollars to follow low-income students to a different public school.

It means to give help for those kids who need it so they can pass.(An upgrade) It doesn't mean to pass every child in school.(a downgrade)
No magical program or curriculum will result in all children testing at average or above average levels. It's a politically correct myth designed to cover up the staggering number of kids who are below average academically.
How about leaving the poor educators, the Bd. of Education administrators, and school unions behind and let the well-qualified teachers actually just teach the children?
