Thanks, I'm amazed at the total lack of awareness of the scam that's
being forced on parents, the new test is a total joke, but no one 
will admit to it. I've been seen before mostly about affirmative 
action, that's why I know so much about tests and education.


My phone eves is 425-814-2183, Kirkland WA. We really need to
start up an organization that the newspapers and media can
pay attention to. Now I'm really glad I didn't vote for Bergeson for
state superintendent, this is mostly her baby.
