And no child left behind merely has changed the curriculum to "teach to the test." Drill, lather, rinse, repeat. No critical thinking skills. No application. The metrics are crap.

Nationalizing education has accomplished just the opposite. The metrics are only crap if you cheat. How would you measure performance? I cannot imagine any other profession (except teaching) that would ask for you to pay them and "just trust me, you are getting your money's worth," regardless of outcome.
