and since i support both of senator schnurr's amendments to the bill, i wonder if you could talk frontal boundary your perspective because no one around this table i don't think has spent more time in as many schools as you probably have. from your perspective, what is the importance of the performance targets? and what should that look like in this bill ideally if we're able to find a path that would allow us to include it? >> well, you people in this room have a lot more expertise on the legislative issues. from a school perspective, from a principal, teacher, kids sitting in schools, i think it is of vital importance. i don't think they don't necessarily care where this comes from, but kids across the country need a press that is supported from outside the school for higher performance. there are too many things conspireing to bring lower expectations. i'm not saying the federal government should at all micromanage this. but from a school perspective, all these things conspire to have in many ways lower expectations. and the best principals need and benefit from the public in some way
