I'm not smart enough or have enough facts on your other statements but if they are as wrong as this one is, they are empty.
I work in schools on professional development. We aren't teaching kids to take tests, rather, finally focusing on content and measuring it rather than paying a teacher to go close his/her door and teach whatever they like. Most of the bad teaching I see comes from those that are very Democrat. Most of the bad educational policy I see has come from Democrat/liberal policies.
Teachers that hate accountability seem to love to bash with, "We just have to teach to the test". They, and whoever wrote the statment above, clearly don't get it.
