Reactions continue on RTT, and stakeholder support is the big winner (well, other than Delaware and Tennessee). Maybe we can all take a break from RTT and devote our time to building a better student assessment model, or at least debunking snake oil ed reforms. Today's surprising and strange education news, including fire fads and charters in nightclubs, is sure to help block out RTT, but just don't fall behind (like America's boys). No one's encouraging vegging out on the couch (after all, we have to stay sharp for The Economist's Education Reform Week), but you can probably spare an hour to watch Whatever It Takes tonight at 10pm.
