Unfortunately I can see how a person would come to this conclusion given what is going on.  The lack of alternatives in education would be appalling.

"This is all being done so that students, teachers, and school systems fail in the assessments. It's all part of a plan so that the government can step in and "Save the Day" after they prove how "flawed" the educational process is. It gives government vindication to say "What you are doing isn't working, so now we're taking control." So after it's all said and done, politicians will pick the winners as far as businesses that provide education products and services. They'll take power and funding away from schools and communities and have it all wrapped up in one neat little (expensive) package for everyone to line up for (because there will be no alternatives). I hate to sound like a kooky conspiracy theorist on this, but it's true. It's all government's way of figuring out how they can micro-manage something else. The more government gets involved in anything, the more poorly executed the project becomes. It'll be an inefficient joke of a process, a waste of money for taxpayers, but, as long as Joe Politician's lobbyists get what they want, it'll be "Great for all of us!". "[/quote]
