For those who are not in education, trust when I say that NCLB is one of the worst educational policies ever implemented. All we have done is train kids how to fill in little bubbles. If you don't believe me, check out our high drop out rates, lack of qualified teachers, or just talk to our college professors who state that kids today are not ready for college. Regardless of what he is trying to do, there is no way that any action will be taken on NCLB in an election year. The President's attempts to "strengthen" NCLB are a joke- we now you are only doing it to save face and help McCain. President Bush, just stop trying to save your legacy, it is unsavable. You blew it, get over it and move on. As a high school educator who has lived through the nightmare of NCLB I can confidently say that the only way to fix it is to get rid of it.
