  Our ability to teach a lot of 21st skills is definitely obstructed by "teaching to the test." One day we will actually be able to measure how the students can use the skills, instead of how much information they can regurgitate. I only hope that that time is sooner than later. It will also be interesting to see how our funding problems will be handled. Our county's motto has always been "Do more for less." It should not continue to be "Do more and more and more for less and less and less."
