Welcome to the Party, Congressman Miller

Recently, Congressman George Miller, chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee gave a speech heralding proposed changes to NCLB. In the section outlining how these ammendments will help teachers and principals, Congressman Miller spoke thusly:

"We will not meet our national goal of closing the achievement gap until and unless we close the teacher quality gap. No factor matters more to a children’s educational success than the quality of their teachers and principals."

Teacher quality gap, huh?

Nice turn of phrase.
