  House Dems' $100 bn. Edu-Stimulus Plan: Take Action for Hope

  That's an extremely large amount of money to be spent on "data management." It occurs to me that those who benefit from this will be the same huge corporations who are already fattening their wallets from the testing/tutoring/training/privatization scheme known as NCLB.
  More technology? The grant money is out there, the technology is in the schools, and the training is being done. Until the money goes directly into the schools having the money to hire these trained teachers, and for the students to have time to learn through technology, we'll have to be able to really teach-- not just do test-taking training.  
  And merit pay? Excuse me, I mean "incentive pay"-- after 30 years, I certainly do need an incentive to go to a job that harms children. The young children, who used to go to school and love to learn, now have emotional problems from being forced to base their future on one test grade. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to be part of this. Come on, folks, let's get with it. This money is OURS--the taxpayers'-- stand up for the right way to spend your dollars.
