Quick Connection

After a hospital call this morning, I called my friend Cheyenne in Austin. Cheyenne is about my age and involved in educational programs in state government. She had been looking at a school accountability program that was supposed to increase principal and teacher responsibility and motivation for good test scores. It is called "Raise Your Hand, Texas" which may mean that school staffs raise their hands in support of the program. Cheyenne is not impressed with the program and has privately renamed it "Raise Your Middle Finger, Texas."
