iowa_deWell sort of… the Iowa Department of Education desires your feedback provided that you are a teacher, administrator or some other school employee.  Apparently a parent (or even a student) is not considered a “customer.”  They do list an “other” option for the first question that asks “please choose the option that best describes your position.”

So I think we all can qualify as “other,” go ahead and give them a piece of your mind.

Here’s the link.  I find this instructive.  Do we really think the collective attitude over there will change when they are given even more and more control?
