      Why we can all stop paying attention to Sarah Palin for a little while.
      I'd rather not see Palin anywhere near the campaign trail, but these days Republicans are all about entertainment rather than governing. How else to explain that no GOP politician is bringing serious ideas to the debates on reforming health care or the financial system. Meanwhile, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and all draw millions of eyes and ears. GOP political rhetoric echoes their shock-jock behavior, with an increase in name-calling, audience pandering and efforts to inflame the base. Sarah Palin is good at all those activities. She draws the attention of a lot of people, and not just in the media.
      Let's just ignore her.

    Give Parents of Deaf Children a Choice in Education - Room for Debate
    If all states gave parents vouchers or tax credits, the decision of public schools to eliminate separate programs for deaf students would be balanced out.
    The parents have choice.  They can do it.  They can pay to have it done.  They can accept the available public education.  The states require the level of education and subsidize the secular programs that provide it.

    It will be a good deal rarer but there will be a demand for treatment.

    Do States Need Schools for the Deaf? - Room for Debate
    A clash over whether children should be encouraged to sign, at a separate school for the deaf, or should attend 'mainstream' schools.
    Educating a deaf child is expensive.
    Take advantage of the economies of scale and educate them in a separate school.  
    The education is not a choice.  
    Sharing the cost of instruction over several hundred students only makes sense.

      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.
