Quote from the article:
“The more waivers there are, the less there really is a law, right?” said Andy Porter, dean of the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education.While I applaud the waivers as a signal that the Administration is finally waking up to the Dr Seussian world depicted by NCLB, it is sort of looking at things like a band-aid is all you need after being trampled by a herd of rabid buffalo. Another quote:
“It is another example to me of how we’re not focused on the right things in the American education conversation today,” Mr. Starr [Joshua Starr, superintendent of the Montgomery County schools in Maryland] said. “I have a lot of respect for Arne Duncan,” he added, referring to the secretary of education, “but it’s just sort of moving around the chairs on the Titanic.”
