If testing goes away, (which by the way every state currently
has some form of testing,) how will districts show yearly student
growth?

No, this is not true. Teachers have to be certified. Texas
already created the answer to not having enough teachers when the
state instituted "alternative certification." If I am wrong,
psyguy, please prove your point by showing it in the Texas
education code.

I used to think that school choice was not a good thing. Now,
however, after reading the main teacher board posting related to
gay pride, based on some of the comments related to going around
local control, and teachers advocating spreading their own
agenda, I have changed my mind.

Please, teachers, join the underground movement to "keep" Common

I don't see this. We haven't had a textbook to use
(because it was outdated) in 10 years! This year we are finally
adopting and teachers are excited! As for errors, c-scope was a
mess, but we will see with the new digital textbook adoption.
