Eye On Education/Massachusetts Education Reform In return for federal money, the state of massachusetts or the state of Texas or any It is important to free families from failure in public education. http://www.eyeoneducation.tv/reform/no_bush.html
Extractions: I know the principles behind the bill, and I want to describe some of them to you. First, this bill says that we will hold people accountable for results. It says, in return for receiving federal money, states must design accountability systems to measure-to determine whether or not children are learning to read and write and add and subtract. In return for federal money, the state of Massachusetts or the state of Texas or any other state in the Union must develop an accountability system to let us know whether children in grades three through eight are meeting standards. It basically says, every child can learn. And if they're not learning, we want to know early, before it is too late. Now, I've heard them say, well, tests, we're testing too much. If you don't like to take a test, too bad. Because we need to know, we need to know whether you're learning.

Untitled Document Even today, massachusetts bilingual education law and regulation go beyond federal mandates. This is a tribute to the legislature and the many communities http://www.masc.org/bilingual.asp
Extractions: In the thirty intervening years, state law has evolved along side federal statutes, regulation and the outcome of litigation. Presently there are strong bilingual education programs in many Massachusetts communities. However, the Bilingual Education Law that Governor Francis Sargent signed was an ambitious plan that went beyond federal law in its support for a transitional program that included native language instruction. Even today, Massachusetts bilingual education law and regulation go beyond federal mandates. This is a tribute to the legislature and the many communities who have supported bilingual education. • Mandates that school districts conduct some form of census to determine the number of students who are appropriately classified as "limited English proficient" (LEP). • Protection against discrimination (MA General Laws Chapter 76, Section 5 and Chapter 603 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations, Section 26.03) aimed at students based on, among other criteria, "limited English-speaking ability."
