I cannot believe they would do something like this. Is there something that I do not understand about this? Is it really that much of a burden to provide access to updates?
that land isn't in the frisco metropolitan area, so it's not exactly relevant; people who want to live in SF don't want to live in a new exurban development that used to belong to the parks service
Oh yes it is. The Bay Area has huge portions of it locked off from development through "open space" laws.
The people that criticize standardized testing are usually opposed to any accountability whatsoever. We are not going to fix our schools until we can fix the politics. Public schools are more politicized than any other institution in America. Teachers unions are the single biggest donors to the Democratic party, and 20% of the delegates to the last Democratic Convention were members. Democrats will do anything to support the unions, and the Republicans will do anything to oppose them. Neither party is concerned about actually educating the kids. Charter schools are just a pawn in the game. Democratic politicians generally oppose them, and Republican politicians generally support them. Neither cares about any actual evidence about whether they are effective or not.
I would not go so far as to say that either side does not care. It is more correct that they have lost sight of what they were originally trying to acomplish and do not realize it.
How can you even say that the free market is the problem!? There are not really any markets here, we are talking the state mandating what textbooks will be used. Do you think that we should give someone else even more power over our children's education?
Fascinating! If true, I wonder how it could effect theories on terraforming. If we got enough open and moving water on Mars could it then develop the field needed to block solar radiation and trap an atmosphere?

Yeah, that is the answer. Everyone who disagrees with you is just a delusional fool.
Great, now I will accidentally touch the screen far more often when I am only trying to hold my phone.
Is there anyone left who was born between 1893 and 1897?
So this boleto thing... It's a check, right? I am not getting what makes it different.

What else is there to grade schools on?

These things do not "make money", they "get money". Making money implies that they have created some sort of value.
