May 22, 2008 - Wonder if this has ever been tried before?

Since Georgia's leaders don't like how dismally our students scored under their leadership, why
don't they just throw out the test scores and say the whole process was flawed in the first place?
Wait a minute. Someone already has gotten that idea, and that's what they're doing. Here I
was thinking I'd come up with a solution to a never-ending, disgraceful issue, and someone has
beaten me to the punch.
It would be amusing - if it wasn't so tragic - how Georgia's education leaders are responding
to this latest school system-related catastrophe.
But where is Atlanta's business community in all of this? With all of the talk and bluster
coming from the private sector over the past year about Georgia's disgraceful high school dropout
rate and how the corporate community is coming to the rescue, Atlanta's business leaders have been
stunningly silent this week.
