Education Testing 3/1 

What caught me first in this article was the issue of how aggressive the federal gov should be in a topic like education. This plays into the role of our two part system. Obviously the federal government has been aggressive according to this article, making sure that annual testing stays a part of our educational system. I'm automatically curious why this issue isn't more of the state's role due to the varying racial distributions across the country since the whole purpose of the annual testing is to decipher whether or not minorities are evenly and adequately taught in classroom settings. I'm going to say I agree with the federal gov's decision to keep annual testing though. I understand parents are upset about it, however they would have a bigger problem if the mistreatment of minorities and their education went unregulated.
