We haven't digested/analyzed poll, but wanted to get this out for weekend- reading . . ." 'Want a piece of my billions?' Duncan asked the states, shaking his money bag. 'Fight for it, winners take all! Whichever five or ten state legislatures enact law coming closest to my cruel, unproven vision of test-driven education, well, you folks can ride out the money storm in relative comfort. The rest of you, with your pie-in-the-sky ideas from John Dewey, you can rot in fiscal hell-no cash for the disobedient!'

I would like to: 1) review a copy of the survey, 2) receive information on how the population was identified, and 3) learn more about how the survey was disseminated before I make a comment. But, the topic is interesting.
