Unions are composed of teachers and the union hierarchy. The unionized
teachers *do* write tests.

If we're speaking classroom tests, that is true.

If we're speaking about performance tests or state standard tests or
mastery tests, no.

The problem with that reasoning is the whole education establishment
is so vertically integrated that it is virtually the same group of
people from the state board of education right down to the students in
a teacher's college. It is a culture that has very little contact with
anyone outside the education community.

Hmmmm - and how is that different from, say NASA or IBM?

I just saw that a contract has been let from NASA to Lockheed/Martin
to build, get this, another capsule system to reach the moon and
beyond.

40 year old updated technology - where's the innovation?

A contract negotiated during golf games and expensive dinners, followed by
promises of a lucrative private job after leaving NASA? That's innovative.
It happens all the time.

It also happens in the education system.

Is THAT why there were 123 soda machines in my son's high school until
recently?
