Frankly, NCLB is a perfect example of why the feds should stay the hell out of education, and why it should be left to the state and local level.
A massive federal bureaucracy imposing a standard on schools across the country doesn't properly take into account all the unique challenges and circumstances faced by each of those schools? I'm shocked! And those schools respond poorly to the initiative, teaching to the test rather than to educate, draining resources and energy from an endeavor that's often difficult to start with? I'm shocked all over again!
"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."
