You keep arguing about No Child Left Behind yet have not acknowledged the fact that student performance has deteriorated long long LONG before that act was event passed. So what was the excuse then?

no matter how much we want it to be so, one size does not fit all when it comes to educating children of varying degrees of capability. 'no child left behind' is another way of saying the slowest child sets the pace. if you are preparing our youth to enter a competitive world environment then 'no child left behind' self inflicts on our country a disadvantage which may never be overcome.
no question the public school system, by and large, was a mess and remains one. the point to be made however, is that 'no child left behind' is not the answer to those problems. ask a public school teacher.
