Testing 5 Year Olds

The brilliance of Joel Klein, N.Y.C. school's chancellor, never fails to amaze me. That is, his complete ignorance of educational matters. This is a great one. Klein and our mayor are adamant about testing 5 year olds. Why not test them while they're in mother's womb? Unfortunately, many of them are wild there already. Let kids be kids. Imagine, they'll give up finger-painting to prep for the exam.
Mr. Klein, after you leave the chancellor's position, please teacher in one of our many surr schools. You taught for 6 months in a Queens intermediate school prior to fleeing from the system.
