Isn't this report just meaningless since there is little financial commitment to education by the government.

> I just wanted to add this follow-up note to Forrest’s recent post regarding misconceptions with Reach Higher America.  There has been some discussion on this topic on a couple of the National Institute for Literacy’s Discussions Lists – particularly the Workplace Literacy List.  To read the thread of that discussion, go to the Workplace archives at http://www.nifl.gov/pipermail/workplace/2008/date.html  and click on the posts that have Reach Higher America in the subject line.  Feel free to subscribe so you can join in that discussion as well (subscribe at http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/Workplace/).

If the recommendations of the report are put into effect, what types of tools, structures or processes would we need to better conduct assessment of students and accountability of programs?  Or perhaps we already have the tools we need?  Or perhaps this movement will not affect the assessment/testing/accountability angle at all?
