Okay, so after careful consideration I have decided the no child left behind idea in our educational system is extremely flawed. They are focusing only on a small demographic of students who do the worst.
Now, remembering my own experience in public schools I can safely declare that anyone not in said demographic is left behind... the abilities of student who actually get something that is taught are not fostered, but left to stagnate!
Anyone care to disagree that we are leaving children behind... although not the ones that were initially thought of?

It is up to the parents to see to it that their child is not left behind. If you think the government will do this for you, you will be disappointed.

I think he has an MBA from Yale. You may not agree with him, but tough to argue he was an idiot in school, IMO.

My ex has been teaching for 14 years now... No child left behind is one of the worst educational policies ever, in her opinion.
I trust her opinion too..she's been teacher-of-the-year and has her National Board Certification.

In my experience, it doesn't matter what the parents think about the school system.
