Delaware (where my daughter just moved) is right, Secretary DeVos should review this guidance letter, and until the federal government gets its act together on secondary education (which it appears may never
happen), families should opt out of state schools subject to federal dictates, opting in, instead, to learning institutions that embed preparation for exams
at a pre-university
level that can lead to placement advanced in future course sequences: these advanced
level subjects should be embedded within the balanced curriculum that an
international baccalaureate education represents, in contrast to the narrow extension of elementary school that DC bureaucrats remain focused on, as if time had not run out on the Obama administration and its failed efforts to improve the lives of American youth, now mired in debt that it encouraged in pursuit of a «North Star» goal that led the United States astray.
Strong mitigation policies
at the national
level are currently held hostage by slow and cumbersome post-Kyoto
international negotiation processes, the public policy mess left behind by Bush and Cheney, and the complex political labyrinth standing between the need to slash emissions and the legislation needed to make it
happen, whether that be cap - and - trade or some other policy tool.
