If the program of No child left behind is too difficult to attain does that mean that it is okay to leave some children behind.  Depending on the school that you attend in the US determines the quality of education a child will receive.  I don’t believe that any of our children should be left behind which is happening to a large number of black children.  When this child attempts to go to college he’s going to be left behind and forced to take remedial classes.  I met a young black man that was the Valedictorian of his high school but was struggling in college.  He had attended an all black high school.  I believe the no child left behind law is a very good idea that should not be abandoned.  Regarding the drug plan that was not paid for, again a very good program for the elderly and disabled, so pay for it!

No child of a millionaire left behind was what
Bush really did to America. No child left behind
created no real learning and caused educators to
teach the test. It also created unrealistic
expectations for students and created conditions
where administrators cheated on tests in order to
keep their jobs. By the way that was another failed
Bush program supported by Republicans in congress
like homeland security dept of tsa tax cuts for the
rich two wars and a drug prescription plan and bank
bailouts that was put on America’s credit card. Now
all of a sudden we spent too much money and the same
people who did this almost caused our country to
default. The surprising part is Republicans still win
office. Only in America.

The “No Child Left Behind” was always a lie and a waste of money. George Bush over sold program only had good figures because the performance was enhanced by crowding out the low achievers from schools. It left plenty of children behind and wrecked and wasted tax money, money that could have been spent on actually teaching. It also had the effect of encouraging wildly inaccurate “facts” to give some people access to the lolly.

Was Terry McGraw, whose company McGraw Hill designed No Child Left Behind and made trillions off the sale of textbooks and cirriculum, so angry—he had his company Standard and Poor’s downgrade our bond rating.  I wonder how much money Terry and his cronnies at The Business Roundtable made with insider arbitrage trading during the past two weeks.  Can someone tell me?
