Yeah, you are onto it Ben, my sniffer smells a major scheme to suck more money out of taxpayers, "it cannot be avoided" we'll hear. For the kids that work hard and actually score good grades & SATs they are the ones getting hosed, the brighter kids should be allowed to test out after any grade and move on, let the public schools good weighted down with dummies, that crowd is more easily brain-washed anyway...perfect for libiot indoctrinators.
