[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] The remainder include some liberals, some of whom do know schools and teaching, but who are whiny about accountability just the same, or who have bleeding heart ideas about equity, meaning that [b]we should just have all kids be equal [/b]by catering to the lowest common denominator rather than trying to push each kid to his potential.[/quote]

No, I'm the liberal who posted.  I do not think we should "have all kids be equal".  That's impossible.  It's not doable.  We should help kids starting where they are and help them get to their potential.  I said nothing about lowest common denominator.  That's ridiculous.

I'm not whiny about accountability.  I want that.  I just want it to be based on something that makes sense and is valid.[/quote]

Does this make sense? Is it valid?
