"Reading is the Key to Everything"

I'm more of a "Car Talk" guy when listening to NPR while driving around on Saturdays getting the weekly errands and delivering the kids to what seem like weekly birthday parties. I do sometimes catch a few minutes of Lake Wobegon with Garrison Keillor. Mr. Keillor has written an article for Salon.com concerning some Democratic candidates promising to dismantle NCLB if they are elected. He is more concerned that they are making this promise simply because the program came into existence under the guidance of a Republican president rather than whether or not the program has worthwhile goals. Certainly worth a read....for a concerned educator or parent.
