And the fact that you want "competition" in education as some sort of reform simply shows how far you, and apparently the Democratic party is out of touch with education.

How do you measure the winner of such "competition"? In fact why does a field such as education, which is grounded in cooperation, even need competition?

Do you agree with the privatizing of education? The takeover of public education by private corporations and other entities? Even though it has been shown that they do worse for students than public schools?

Or how about we try this, for once in our modern history, namely fully funding education, actually living up to that empty toss out line so many we, namely that education is one of the most important areas in our society.

As far as progress goes, far too many people are going to look at that statement and laugh because progress, change hasn't touched them at all.
