Obama promises that it's time to revamp the "No Child Left Behind" laws and replace them. Do you agree?

No Child Left Behind is a term to describe a program in which the Feds give money to states based on standardized testing. In other words no grades no pay. In the past b4 no child left behind we payed based on enrollment, even if the child just merely was passed to the next grade year after year not knowing anything.

Obamas idea is not reallly his own, so I think it's good we look at otherways to pay schools, or perhaps we can make govt smaller and let states pay their own programs and do it their way. The Race to the Top Program Obama talked about is actually used by groups like the Joint Commission which accredits Hospitals, so it's not really far out, I'm just not sure how we can pay someone as this process would be more involved requiring on site visits and be much more subjective. I mean so what if a school has a good idea in one area. It doesn't mean all the students are passing and getting a certain stardard knowledge. So probably best to have both progrms, race to the top incetives and standardized test scores.

I've noticeable a few dumb devout nonsense earlier than however this perception is far beyond dull and proper alongside aspect baby abuse. A man or woman are not able to be "proficient" to do what's unnatural for them. Even in case your ideals say Left arms are improper. Get into the twenty first century and eliminate the 3000 12 months historical superstitions and nonsense. John Lester of the Red Sox is a ultimate illustration of a left passed man or woman doing good and excelling in his project. Didn't your God supply him that potential?

Public education will continue to be a dismal failure as long as the government is involved and more money is spent for the union goodies than for the student.

Let the individual states handle their own education. Leave the federal government out of it!

** HAHA.......Nuts for Liberty.............But you support Obama doing the same thing? Are you confused or are you just a hypocrite?

BTW**NCLB was a Teddy Kennedy bill.

Get rid of it.

300+ billion dollars down the drain plus countless more billions even when the program was proven to be ineffective.

This is another fine example of Republican limited government hypocrisy because Bush and his Republican congress doubled the size of the Department of Education.

I agree that no child left behind needs to be gotten rid of

The reason that it should be done away with is because it makes it too hard for fail poor students.

We don't do kids any favors by passing them along when they aren't ready.

No. The federal gov't should not be involved in public education. it should be left to the states. A generic on-fits-all does not work in education.
