State's demands forced school costs to shoot up


My personal viewpoint on so-called "achievement tests" is they are generally not worth a lot to the homeschooling community. I do look on with interest, though, at the lengths to which school systems will go to secure those federal dollars.

From the article:

Schools are preparing to give a new test next year, the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness, which the Texas Education Agency has promised "will be significantly more rigorous than previous tests." And let's not forget that, led by our last governor, the federal government created an additional set of accountability measures for schools to meet during the past 10 years.
