screw the NFLB act. as a student going to school to be an art teacher i have learned that art classes are being dropped because bush& his staff don't think art serves a purpose but when really it does. art is can open the eyes to At-Risk children who are having a hard to with standardized testing. so SCREW NCLB act. up yours!

Very good point! 3rd graders are just not ready to deal with testing in the way they're put through it these days. Look what the schools are doing! At every level in Elementary schools now, kids are expected to do grade level work that they're just not ready for yet. I see it every year. So as a teacher, I have to "help" my kids with everything, or they can't get good grades. We teach to the test, we give the kids all the answers, then give them the test, then give them "A"s. It's wrong

NCLB leaves behind the smart kids. NCLB forces teachers to focus all their energy on the kids who are struggling and will probably never even go to college. But the smart kids get forgotten about and are left mostly to fend for themselves. We should be helping the smart kids who are going to grow up and be our doctors, engineers, etc... We should be helping the smart kids get to college and help them be our leaders of tomorrow! I don't believe in standardized testing any way. It's B.S.

You probably shouldn't comment when you can "barley speech" english yourself.

I don't think an education reform act should be implemented by someone who can barley speech english himself, who never takes the blame for his own mistakes and pretends to know everything. he had a 2.0 in school is this someone we want in charge of the school system and the govenator needs to stop cutting the edu budget

SCRAP IT!"The "No Child Left Behind" initiative destroys a teacher's right to educate as they see fit while mandating that all testing components are purchased from Neil Bush's testing software company." |
