I taped a TV interview today for Meredith Broadcasting Company. The topic was President Bush's proposal to extend the federal No Child Left Behind testing regimen into high schools. My view, in a nutshell, is that the federal government is not the right place to fix education. Instead, we need to let parents choose private and public schools equally and allow natural competition to force schools to improve and specialize.
