		<description><![CDATA[For more than ten long, empty, intellectually dry and dishonest years, we’ve lived under the insanity of No Child Left Untested. (Someone told me not to be so negative. Trust me. I’m holding back.)

Some of them think you can tell if you have a good school and if you have good teachers if they just look at your test scores. Do you think that will work?”]]></description>
