some of them is. some of them isn't. they ought-a-be if they isn't.
seriously, the reason that question is rarely asked is because the grammar is reflective of a child that didn't learn.

No Child Left Behind is a joke. The data from Texas during the pilot program was purposefully skewed. They only used the top 50% of the classes to formulate the data.. when you apply the entire population you find that this program is terrible for education. The reason it went through anyway? At the time Bush's brother was the president of the company that had the contract to supply the books for the NCLB program.
If you want your school to be a part of a program that actually works, look up School of the 21st Century (produced by Duke University) or Coordinated School Health (produced by a doctor from Mississippi) They are both wonderful program.. and can actually both be ran at the same time at a school. And they actually work.

No, they are not. The no child left behind has ruined our school system. If a school fails to meet requirments money is taken away? How does this help? If they could pay to get better teachers, and here not all children have a text book. The teachers are so focus on the test, general knowledge is lost along with art and music. What ever made Bush think this program could work?

Our children are learning, IF they attend a school that has qualitly teachers, quality administration and quality curriculum. It also helps if they have a family that values education and feeds them a healthy breakfast. These things aren't happening in all school districts and isn't fair to the students in poorer neighborhoods.
Every child should be given the same opportunities. Unfortunately, due to no fault of the children, they're not.

I disagree with the thought that it is not the children's fault. Disruption in the class rooms by kids who have no interest in learning is part of the problem and also the reason that quality teachers will not apply in " poor " neighborhoods. I wouldn't.

Not in the Bush family. Not in the last 60 years or so.
And not much anywhere else. The U.S. standard of education is an embarrassment.
