Don't you think Bush's "no child left behind act" is the stupidest thing you have ever heard?

I don't think so. I think it's a good law when it comes to our children. But we value other opinions about it like yours.

Well at least he is trying to do something, Do you really think that if somebody else is in power that things are going to be different? Please grow up.

I think its a good thing for education, by no child left behind they mean they won't leave them behind on their education. Its actually what barbara bush worked on not george bush. Anything that helps improve the education in this country i'm supportive of, being a teacher I have to.

yeah, helping children get a good education is awful lets just shut down schools altogether.

I think SOMETHING had to be done & this is a step in the right direction....maybe not a perfect step but at least it's an attempt. I do NOT like the fact that in the school in our neighborhood the school is, as early as 1st grade mostly "teaching to the test". But I believe that was for state funds? Did anyone see "Stupid in America" Friday night (on 20/20)? If so OR if you have a child in most any public school it's clear something must be done. More & more $$$ has been thrown at schools & IT HAS NOT HELPED yet they whine "we need more money"....that is crap! They need to be on their toes from competition. So, to answer the question - NO - NCLBA is NOT the stupidest thing I ever heard. ONE of the stupidest things I've ever heard is the idea that folks should have TENURE...what other profession does that? After that point, teachers have NO MOTIVATION to be good teachers.

I agree its is so stuiped i would have never voted for him

It does help to discern which schools are the bad ones and are not providing an adequate education. The only people I know who complain about this policy are teachers because they are afraid of taking the blame.

It's as smart as Just say no.

the point in "no child left behind" is to learn even if u learn at a different pace. not everyone learns the same. they have lots of other types of classes, not no is going to fail. i dont agree with everything that bush does but this is one of the good things. u really should about things before u say that they r stupid.
