Rick Hess has a fun post excerpting some of the RTTT application nonsense. What a terrible thing RTTT is, and so full of crap. Here is just one example of what you can find in one of these applications:
• Ohio boasts of its "Simple, yet bold, long-term aspirations." These admirable goals include "a near-100%" high school graduation rate with schools teaching at internationally competitive standards, elimination of achievement gaps, and higher-ed completion rates "that are among the highest in the nation and world." Are reviewers supposed to reward that simple, bold vision...or dismiss it as puffery?
