Borderland recently posted about an online debate/bustup. Follow the links if you’re interested. I don’t live or work in the US and never have, so I know nothing about NCLB (‘No Child Left Behind’), altho if I consider it came from the same mindset that gave us the Clear Skies Initiative and the Healthy Forests Initiative   a little cynicism would not be out of place.

Anyway, the debate reminded that cross-cultural communication is something dear to my heart.
