Extractions: H.R.3130, The Improving America's Schools Act: Is It Really? By Charles J. O'Malley, Ph.D. If I were holding a position of leadership in a national private school organization, I think I would be following the progress of H.R. 3130, the "Improving America's Schools Act (the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act with great interest and even greater trepidation. I would be watching its progress even if my schools were not involved in federal programs, i.e., Chapter 1 or Chapter 2. I would be looking at provisions of the legislation other than those normal concerns about the equitable participation of parochial school students or meaningful and timely consultation with appropriate private school representatives. I recall the debate in the mid and late 1980's when the National Professional Teaching Standards Board sought around 5 million dollars from the federal coffers. That's all they needed from the feds, because they wanted autonomy. I recall the debate about the merits of "alternative certification". And I recall the pleas by governors, educators and legislators to reduce the federal role in areas such as curriculum, teacher certification/credentialing or standards. How times have changed! Just read the following excerpts from H.R. 3130, consider the implications of their provisions, and you may yearn for the "good old days". "Title II IMPROVING TEACHING AND LEARNING

Facts and statistics are important, but only you can truly assess whether school A or school B is the right fit for your child. Hopefully you will have done your homework before you visit the school. If you do that, you are better prepared to ask the right questions and get some serious answers. Leave the small talk to others. One last point: you are the consumer, if you will. You have every right to ask tough questions. It's certain that they will ask you some tough questions back. Happy evaluating! Resources This Day in History
