If Race to the Top does nothing more for my family, it has taught my three-year-old a new dialect -- RttT, Mou, Governor's Zone, Mayoral Control, Collaboration, Rigor, Turnaround Schools..." He peels off acronyms and buzzwords like a pro.
He's barely in preschool six hours a week and USDOE has usurped his academic innocence. Thanks a lot.
And with two weeks 'til State Apps are due, thanks for finally issuing a "Guidance" Document that may actually help the "local control" understand the magnitude of their decisions. Perhaps, your answers to the burning questions in many school board members' minds might be deemed "collaboration?"
Let me ask my three-year-old and get back to you.
