      Overtesting Drives Away the Best Teachers - Room for Debate
      Who’s getting paid to design these assessments and the materials districts, educators and parents will scramble to purchase to help children prepare for them?
      Not so important as the rest  of the opening statement.
      The governing bodies have agendas that they want to impose on the teachers and the students.  These exams are a very effective way to control what is taught.

    Duty Calls
    Good luck.  I am glad to know.
    There is an automatic deferment available by simply asking.
    Pool duty is usually just one day if one does not sit a case. Often one can be excused from extended cases by request. Prejudice in any form will usually get one off a case.

    You must be working off a hand held. 
    I can think of no other reason for the form.
    Only public interest drives this program.  
    It could be implemented at the city or county level. 
    "Think globally.  Act locally."

    The President Surrenders on Debt Ceiling
    Extortion over the debt ceiling wins, and the country loses.
