I'd like to see a report on the increasingly unionized, federally funded, and ineffectual teacher mindset myself. I've only been out of high school for a decade and I can literally see students becoming stupider; at least in this state. Don't take my word for it, look at the released questions for the TAKS test -

This is a standard for state academic assessment!? Really? This ****e is worse than the TAAS that preceded it and that test was, I'm convinced, made for "special needs" students. What, exactly, is a professor going to do with a student who does anything other than make a mockery of these tests? I hope their understanding of students' mindsets can overcome at least four years' worth of substandard education.
