Don't let it happen

Please, for the sake of students beyond NYC, do NOT let Joel Klein become Education Secretary.

The over-emphasis on testing, testing, testing, will destroy an education system already so far behind that of other developed nations who realize the destructive nature of solely judging students on the results of standardized tests rather than providing broad curriculum experiences.

I hope enough people will get to see this blog, express their views, and perhaps we can use the same medium (the Internet) that helped elect Barack Obama to persuade him NOT to appoint Joel Klein as Education Secretary.
