With Senate Dems increasingly likely to introduce and even vote on a bill imposing new
sanctions on Iran, the White House is escalating its
behind the scenes pressure on them to hold off, warning them that in
moving such a measure, they are making war with Iran more likely.
The second one is concerns about the way accountability pressures in the No Child Left
Behind era created pressure to teach to the test, lots of
sanctions and the loss of autonomy in the classroom because quite often in central - city schools, where minority teachers are concentrated, they were
moved to a scripted, teacher - proof curriculum, geared to test preparation, which is not what people go into teaching for.
