I guess a good measure of it, will be to see what happens to the mediocrity builder known as NCLB. Some of it has the potential to foster excellence, most of it sadly is focused on achieving the lowest level of learning across the widest group of children, ie mediocrity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As far as UN resolutions, there are tons of them, which one are you specifically referring to? Obviously the UN is high on idealism, and less so on implementation, but overall, many initiatives tend to be at a higher level, or perhaps too high than mediocre.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ron Amundson</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:03:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, good or bad</title><link>http://www.ronamundson.com/blog/2009/02/26/dc-opportunity-scholarship-program-good-or-bad/#comment-6701169</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Could mediocrity could be the Obama goal. Why else approve a UN resolution on children that will be ignored if not laughed at by the rest of world.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:22:44 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
