Congressionally set standards, Race To The Top has been called by some the largest discretionary education program in history.<\/p>\n<p>So President Obama is throwing billions of dollars at a federal education program with an unproven record of success.<\/p>\n<p>And for educational programs with a proven track record, such as <strong><a rel=\"tag\"
