For some reason, this blurb about former Gov. Jim Hunt’s testimony to Congress reminded me of some earlier testimony before N.C. lawmakers.
In this earlier testimony, an education advocate urged lawmakers to do a better job setting stringent standards for student performance.
I point this out not to urge more federal interference with the schools. Instead, I hope to instill a sense of caution about relying on state governments to ensure the best education programs for students.
