I'm not waiting for Superman.  I'm waiting for somebody with the intellectual capacity to create policies that make sense.  Our ability to compete globally with other countries continues to slide (bottom 1/3), while our test scores have increased since NCLB’s inception.  That's because other countries recognize that GDP is tied to how a population can solve problems in the work-force, not how well they can take a test.  While many agree that accountability is necessary to monitor educational progress, some would argue that the emphasis on testing has a significant cost, namely that students are unprepared to compete against others who can actually “think”.  A more accurate account of our educational circumstance can be found in the documentary “2 Million Minutes”.  I have a copy of this documentary if anyone's interested.
