The best proposal ever... is to link Delaware's testing program with the SAT.. After all, that is the chalk mark we use to decipher who, and who will not go forward with higher education..

The tests are there. The resources to grade them are there.. The credibility of the system is there...

So why not?

Then all states would have a universal guide on how their schools are doing..

All parents would have a universal guide on how to improve their child's scores...

The workbooks are already out there...
