Steve, Right - the teachers are so busy with testing they don't have time to
teach.

Wrong - the teachers are hard at work.  If you don't believe that, try
walking a mile in those shoes.  It's the parents that need to go to work.
Research studies have clearly shown that students who's parents value the
education of their kids enough to nurture it succeed even with
less-than-stellar teachers.  Conversely, students who's parents don't care
enough to even feed their kid breakfast in the morning are going to have
many problems even with the very best teachers a pittance can buy.
