* 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.
