last decade is we have high expectations. democrats and republicans came together ten years ago, passed legislation that said we want to be more focused on ensuring every child learns. what's happened however unintentionally is we've narrowed expectations. secretary shalala says we focus too much on tests and performance measures that don't allow students to be motivated and don't allow teachers to teach or activities that inspire kids. we don't have an inspiration nation. we have a blame and recrimination nation when it comes to education. teachers are the focus of what everybody thinks is wrong rather than looking at the way kids, families can be engaged in the school and invioloted to do the kind of things of the 21st century schools, social skills, optimism. these are the things that inspire young people. they have been pushed out. >> bill, do you worry about -- i mean the accountability movement
