    With No Child Left Behind (NCLB) this is how we often feel. Poor kids!

    It's alright. Looking back, that first comment I made was inaccurate in addition to being poorly written in general. Ugh, but now I've got this damn song stuck in my head after being free from it for six months lol.

    I know how you feel about not wanting to deal with all the stress, sorry if I was a little rude or harsh. :(

    I wouldn't know. Never took them. Didn't want to deal with the stress of it all. I guess I was making an assumption.

    BULLSHIT. AP courses are PURE 100% teach to the test bull. All of AP is pure memorization, practically no actual logic comprehension.

    Well, this applies for people who don't take honors or AP classes. Teachers just teach for "the test" (the state exam) and that's it. But if you take more advanced classes, then you get a better education. I don't think it's NCLB's fault though.

    So then... Obama says he removed NCLB, but really he instated the same thing except it's 100% reworded and tweaked to not sound anything like NCLB. And yet Obama is still president...

    We are told that music and arts credits are not mandated by the state to graduate. We are told that our arts programs are not important, despite the fact that OUR public school has achieved a graduation rate of 94% in a city with a district-wide graduate rate of 23%. But we have to sacrifice that for employees of central office, employees with multi-figured salaries. doing the work that could be done by less than half of them. This video expresses my frustration exactly, and I would like to th
