consent to include in the record an op-ed from "the washington post" last weekend written by ann holton, the secretary of education of virginia. ms. holton started out in a very prominent republican family in virginia and she ended up in a very prominent democratic family in virginia. but as she points out in her remarks, their work in education is bipartisan, and she makes the point about how much progress virginia has made in terms of goals, standards accountability testing. it's very impressive. and most states can say the same. what has happened in the last 15 years is governors and school leaders and educators and parents have worked together and created standards tests and now accountability systems. in other words what do you do if things aren't working out the way they should? second, we've seen the limits of the federal government trying to do it. i think president bush and president obama deserve credit for looking at our president -- george w. bush, saying this is an urgent problem. i want to do more from here. that was an understandable impulse and there are limits from what
