No Child Left Behind has made it clear that its objective is for all schools to eventually become "failing," and that'll make it a very simple process to build up the voucher movement. There was a time, before federal interference, when schools were locally controlled, and our nation turned out well-rounded students. Sooner or later, it'll be evident that NCLB isn't working, and we'll go back to that practice. But in the meantime, a whole generation of kids will suffer.mommapoliticohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224971007948785838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-23567002972094077822009-08-09T18:41:06.928-05:002009-08-09T18:41:06.928-05:00the republicans under reagan worked very hard in e...the republicans under reagan worked very hard in ensuring this country would churn out morons<br /><br />it is working <br /><br />sadly some of them became governors of louisiana, alaska, texas, south carolinaDistributorcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149154929149577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-59294450357466305982009-08-08T18:01:05.052-05:002009-08-08T18:01:05.052-05:00that was brilliant. this country really has been ...that was brilliant. this country really has been dumbed down, and i think it's by design. rethuglicans like their constituents ignorant, so they do everything they can to make sure the unwashed masses remain uneducated.nonnie9999http://mikk2.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-40246785009939931982009-08-08T16:20:58.898-05:002009-08-08T16:20:58.898-05:00thanks for finding this video. I stole it!! Damn...thanks for finding this video. I stole it!! Damn youtube took it down after I posted early this morning.<br /><br />As for our kids being taught properly in school - what a joke. My son is highly intelligent, but will be the first to admit that he had no formative timeline as to historical events.<br /><br />In my day, we learned history in a chronological manner, carrying through to high school and current events. This is a shame. At least I can answer and educate my adult kids regularly.themomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372778365091908638noreply@blogger.com
