    Thank you...oh thank you so much. This is the situation at my school We also have to fill in the bubbles. One of my colleagues (5th grade) can barely speak English. She was hired through the "good-old-boy" system and being related to the right people. My hispanic principal undermines Caucasian teachers. I thank my lucky stars I grew up in a private school, a poor school, but we weren't tested "right & left" to answer to the state! Our teachers were left to teach.

    From the Solomon Islands in the south pacific, Yes, I agree that education is the answer to the world's crisis. without education the world will be just nothing. Thank president Obama and Gates for addressing education.
    Our country is targeting basic education for all by year 2015. kindy to grade 9.
