Dear Mr. Wolf--

It would seem that the cost of testing the children is indeed a very small portion of the enormous taxpayer funding associated with our education system. Absolutely--permit parents and caretakers access to the truth about their children's progress, or lack thereof.

Closing schools--only to reopen them under a changed name or number reminds me of newly packaged "used" mattresses, replete with bedbugs: gross.

We need to be informed, in order to change...And, when parents are fully aware of the inadequacy of our public schools; they will exercise their pens and lungs! Bring on the vouchers, please; which will help the politicians and teachers' unions to see the light--as well.

Cordially,

Nancy Joyce Jancourtz.
