The waivers are a complete disaster, and will weaken accountability in ways that will be felt for years, if not decades. The Washington ed policy world has completely looked the other way while all this has happened -- largely because they are mostly Democrats who could not bring themselves to oppose Obama/Duncan. -- One of serveral anonymous "insider" comments (this one sounds like Barone, or Klatt, or maybe Spellings?) ripping NCLB waivers.
Ah, the delightful reality of party politics being difficult to enforce, but impossible to stop. Part of me wonders if we’re headed to some revolution where it all clicks and people learn to stop voting along party lines. The system we have, based on tradition, isn’t working, clearly.

I agree with Sarah, there is a major problem with the system, everything runs on usary, we have student loans, housing downturn, credit crisis, WAR, I mean the list goes on and on. We need a change, a revolution!
