Dolores Umbridge, chair of a newly formed but unnamed committee with representatives of the US Department of Education, The Gates Foundation, PARCC, and the Pearson organization today announced spectacular progress in creating new labels for the "that-which-shall-not-be-named" standards and testing program now adopted by most of the United States.
At a press conference Umbridge assured reporters that regardless of which of the many new terms are adopted by individual states, all versions will remain true to Susan Ohanian's characterization: “a radical untried curriculum overhaul” combined with “nonstop national testing."

It is wonderful that all of these educational mavens are convening to hash out national policy. It is a great relief to note that those of us in the teaching trenches are not invited to participate.
