That's what happened in Texas under Bush. Teachers admitted they were spending half their time giving kids the answers to the upcoming tests and less time doing any real teaching. The Rand Corporation studied this and found that Texas's education system was actually much worse than Bushies reported.

The district that had the greatest success during the 1990s was the NC school system. Students there have made significant strides in math, english and science........all students no matter what their race. TX indicated that it had similar success but as you point out......the students were 'coached' and the grading was structured to fit state standards and not national standards.

Here's a link to some of the NC improvements........you need to scroll down when you get to the site:
