Education

The Race to the Top (RTTT) program and the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act deal with many of the same issues and have many of the same goals, but their approaches are different.

One provides incentives for schools to change, the other mandates it.


1. Same goals (= destruction of public schools & privatization)

2. Incentives v. mandates.

NCLB = mathematically a certain percentage of schools will 'fail' every year & be subject to closure, firing of teachers, charterization, etc.

RTTT did not remove these mandates until 2011-12, AND ONLY IN EXCHANGE FOR SIGNING ON TO THE SAME PROGRAM MANDATED BY NCLB.

A distinction without a difference.

I thought you actually wanted some information.

I see that was BS and you're just pumping the party line.

No impartial observer can look at RTTT or Obama's education policies and see 'incentives'. They're all mandates (FORCED CHOICES) when it comes down to actual practice. WHICH IS WHY NO STATE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ESCAPE THEM.

Byee.
