This was a good article, and it addresses exactly what teachers that I know, have stated to be major issues with federal involvement at a local level. This is yet another area into which the fed has encroached where it has no business.
In order for this to cease, parents and teachers have to work together to turn this back. Encroachment into the private information about our children, being mined by who knows how many government agencies, is unacceptable. There is no valid reason to do so, except to steer the direction of our children's lives without their knowledge or consent.
