[quote=Anonymous][quote]It's pretty easy to be an armchair critic and say "so badly written" - it's pretty intellectually lazy, too. I note that none of the critics seem to have any solutions other than "repeal" - shades of ACA - where the Republicans had no solution other than "repeal" and where they prefer to just pretend the problem didn't really exist. Yeah, so what if medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy. Yeah, so what if millions of kids are only marginally employable.[/quote]

Those kids are marginally employed because of the economy.  It has nothing to do with their educations.  Half of the kids coming out of college are marginally employed.  Half.  They know where the Pacific Ocean is and they can write a coherent sentence.  If we are suffering it is because the rest of the world is coming up to our standard and we now have to compete with them.  The students are no less smart or prepared than they were in the past.  The world is changing around them.  The jobs that do exist do not pay as well.  Don't blame all of this on schools.

Comparing this to the ACA is ridiculous.  I was in favor of ACA.  I love ACA.  I don't love CC and NCLB mandated testing.  They are the wrong solutions to trumped up problems.  For the benefit of corporations.  [/quote]
