		<description><![CDATA[“The whole current system of No Child Left Behind is confusing to the public, its misleading to the parents and frankly its demoralizing to the hardworking professionals who are working so hard in out schools every day to help our children,” Zais said. 
"Traditional proposals for improving education -- more money, better facilities, improved curriculum and smaller classes -- will not work. We've tried that. We've tried that for 40 years," said Zais.

Perhaps Mick Zais has never heard of South Carolina's Corridor of Shame.  

In 2011 Zais was concerned that the this big Republican state of South Carolina  teachers were too liberal and that our school text books were too liberal.  He was following the big Republican state of Texas who actually did re-wrote their books for the 2011-2012 school year because they thought their books were too liberal.

“We want to stress and emphasize at the stakeholder meetings that we are not trying to opt out of the No Child Left Behind program,” Bosket said. “We will not lose and federal funds by receiving these waivers. What we will gain is more flexibility to better serve our students. We want to stress that this process will not have a negative impact.”
Bosket said the waivers would eliminate the "all or nothing" component that is presently part of the No Child Left Behind law

What's this is someone trying to Dumb Down our school system rather than bring up the level of education on South Carolina schools?  
Sounds like it.
What this Stakeholders?  Is someone trying to fund more Charter Schools.  Public Schools are funded by you the tax payers and we arent referred to as stakeholders.  Charter schools are funded with public school money. The full name of the program the waiver is in response to is never mention in this eight page waiver.  It just gives the initials, and of course you know that's what they gave to to the public to read.  

In the waiver the Office of School Transformation is mention as the office that will be handling things.

The Office of School Transformation is supposed to be responsible for creating a new model that involves transformation of schools through supported efforts like Charter Schools and alternative Education , etc. So otherwords there stands a chance they are attempting to create more Charter Schools and provide them with more funding..... <a href="http://fredericacade.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/mick-zais-and-nikki-haleys-waiver-to-u-s-secretary-of-education-arne-duncan-seems-to-lower-south-carolina-public-school-standards-so-money-can-be-kept-and-given-to-charter-schools-deadline-febr/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fredericacade.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9299559&amp;post=21291&amp;subd=fredericacade&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
