Another bit from Alexander Russo today<\/a>, stemming from an NPR story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

[This is the] first word I’ve heard of that Spellings is saying she’d rather have the current NCLB than the Miller draft. Saber-rattling? Maybe. But for those who are most worried about multiple measures and all the rest, it’s going to be a serious consideration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can’t believe that Spellings would play that game, because she’ll be gone within two years (sooner if she’s really looking for a university leadership position). Stalemate will give more time for parents to decide that test-based statistical judgments are a poor idea. Stalemale = greater likelihood of defeat, for Spellings at least. Or stalemate shoves the responsibility for defending the current structure onto Achieve and Education Trust. <\/p>\n

Or maybe this is Spellings’ way to set up a spin when\/if reauthorization doesn’t happen this year, much akin to a song a friend of mine wrote: I Meant To Do That<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
