     Joe,

     Thanks for the link!

     Do you think the powers that be and the educators who have participated in the sorting and separating of students causing much harm to many students through such laws as NCLB and RaTT will ever admit that they were wrong?

       Good questions. Don’t know. What do you think?

       I would hope so but probably not. Upton Sinclair’s aphorism comes to mind “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

   The patriotic songs of Irving Berlin were a great aource of pride to my late father, who never tired of boasting that God Bless America was written by a fellow Jew-Boy. If only Irving came from The Bronx! Or maybe in a way he did…
