He also supports unions.

Writing on the University of Chicago’s Lab School website two years ago, Magill noted, “Measuring outcomes through standardized testing and referring to those results as the evidence of learning and the bottom line is, in my opinion, misguided and, unfortunately, continues to be advocated under a new name and supported by the current [Obama] administration.”

While Magill could not be reached for direct comment on the specifics of the Chicago Teachers’ strike, his past writings on the school's site suggest he might be supportive.

“I shudder to think of who would be attracted to teach in our public schools without unions,” Magill wrote on the school’s website in February 2009, adding that, even with unions, many teachers "have had no choice but to take on second jobs to make ends meet.“

1. The purpose of "No Child Left Behind" was to funnel Billions of $$$ to the TESTING companies

There was never any intent to actually benefit students.
This whole thing is a sham to divert public education money to private "capitalist" hands.

Look who heads Obama's Dept. of Education.
