From a voice of reason

Dig says, watch this. Krashen discusses coffee, bilingualism, education and books, then questions what you get if a government chooses to fund a) tests in schools or b) libraries and book projects.

Dig also suggested that the No Child Left Behind / Every Child Matters are the same package under different labels and what's to be done about that, eh? He gave the Tories a sound tongue lashing and prepared a large cheese sandwich, while I suggested fire bombing someone's offices.
