The world may end in 2012 but

Improved test scores

The Department of Education points to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results, released in July 2005, showing improved student achievement in reading and math:[9]

* More progress was made by nine-year-olds in reading in the last five years than in the previous 28 years combined.
* America's nine-year-olds posted the best scores in reading (since 1971) and math (since 1973) in the history of the report. America's 13-year-olds earned the highest math scores the test ever recorded.
* Reading and math scores for black and Hispanic nine-year-olds reached an all-time high.
* Achievement gaps in reading and math between white and black nine-year-olds and between white and Hispanic nine-year-olds are at an all-time low.
* Forty-three states and the District of Columbia either improved academically or held steady in all categories (fourth- and eighth-grade reading and fourth- and eighth-grade math)..


NCLB was a good idea and passed with BIPARTISAN support so why arent you criticizing the LEFT who voted OVERWHELMINGLY for this bill. I suppose its more of GEORGE BUSH LIED TO US :

The House of Representatives passed the bill on May 23, 2001 (voting 384-45),[6] and United States Senate passed it on June 14, 2001 (voting 91-8).[7] President Bush signed it into law on January 8, 2002.


Ill use a phrase from Obama," it didnt fix EVERYTHING wrong with the education system but it was a good step"

First round of beer says he doesn't show back up to counter.

No Child Left Behind is an utter failure most teachers will agree as the sole progression is based upon making everyone into that Harvard mold and meeting a specific %. Unfortunately what has happened teachers are forced to push children along until they drop out in HS which if you haven't checked we still have alarming rates... and GA is leading.

Among the findings in the report, "Left Behind in America: The Nation's Dropout Crisis:"

# Nearly one in five U.S. men between the ages of 16 and 24 (18.9 percent) were dropouts in 2007.

# Nearly three of 10 Latinos, including recent immigrants, were dropouts (27.5 percent).

# More than one in five blacks dropped out of school (21 percent). The dropout rate for whites was 12.2 percent.

The dropout situation at the state level was similarly widespread:

# More than one in 10 people ages 16 to 24 years old had dropped out of high school in each of the 12 states surveyed.

# More than one in five 16- to 24-year-olds were dropouts in Florida and Georgia.

# California had the most dropouts of any state (710,000), with a 14.4 percent dropout rate among 16- to 24-year-olds.

# Georgia had the highest dropout rate for this population at 22.1 percent.

No it isnt, like Obama says about Healthcare, its a first step and not the answer to every problem. Actually NCLB was simply a standard that states must test annually their students in reading and math. It meant that a 7th grader had to know how to read, not just pass along for no reason.

This road will only lead to a global recession and then a one world government to "fix" the problem.




The end is nigh. ~instigate~

Well $2k in bills because of a sore throat isn't too cheap. lol

I had a $5k bill for a infected intestine. I went the at night spent like 3 hours then had to go back the next night because it was fucking up again. Dumb shits at Northeast Georgia Medical Center can't do shit. All this was without a ambulance ride either time.

Maybe you should do some research, and I'm not talk about typing "waiting for healthcare in canada" into Google. If you really want to be set straight, use Skype or something to call a clinic in a major city in Canada, and ask some questions.

The world ends according to the right every time the left does anything
