Check out this story. Democrat Governor Bredesen is having a hard time selling his Pre-K program in the Senate. So, they are attempting to divert attention to the standardized testing program. It motivates the teacher union - teachers to oppose the TCAP testing. Teacher Unions typically oppose standardized testing because they do not like teachers being held accountable for test scores. They also will typically oppose merit pay for teachers, because they must represent the good, the bad -- everybody.
A Child's Future is too important to negiotiate with a Union.
