Margaret Spellings, the Secretary of Education, and NCLB proponent went on The Colbert Report last night. Stephen, to his credit, asked about sanctions, but his follow-up was a bit lacking.Spellings said they shouldn't be called sanctions since what they do is help schools be accountable by giving them help!

Congress is not accountable. THE PEOPLE ARE!!!!!!!!Read my thoughts on a certain sanction: http://www.thefrustratedteacher.blogspot.com/2008/05/curriculum-of-sanction-lucy-calkins.html
