Too funny, I was about to (and still will) ask a question very similar to this. No child left behind IS a joke for regular students. The program is doing exactly what it was designed NOT to do! I don't know when the government will wise up, but I hope its soon. As it is now I am pulling my oldest out of school and I am going to homeschool her!

I've wondered that question many times myself. Instead of helping the ones who need it, it hurts the ones who don't by dumbing down everything so everyone can be "equal". It is a good concept and might work better if it was done differently, but it's crazy to keep it as it is. The educational system as a whole needs to be completely revised.

i work for a school district in Commerce City, Co and "no child left behind" is a huge f*cking riot!!! Don't they understand that it actually hurts that child?? if you are helping them or even keeping them behind a grade, you are inevitably helping them more for their future. i don't think that teachers or parents care about education anymore. Parents b`tch at the teachers and teachers b`tch at the parents. it is a two way street if you want your child to succeed, you have to make sure they are doing their work, and realize that teachers aren't babysitters, they are educators. Honestly though if the kid doesn't want to learn or doesn't care about themselves or their education, it doesn't matter what the teachers or the parents do, that kid will never have the want-to to succeed.
they are keeping America's youth ignorant.

"No child left behind" isn't a joke. I've actually used this act to get a better education for my English speaking/Special Ed/ child in a primarily Latino city. If you want this to count you have to fight for it. The government could care less unless you force them to.

As soon as it realizes it has no business in local issues like education. As soon as it realizes it has no business in the arts or health care. As soon as it becomes familiar with a little thing called the Constitution that says the purpose of government is to protect us and arbitrate between states... period.
