    My wife is a teacher. We both agree this was a bad idea, and won't fix the problem. Parents need to be more active in educating their child at home first, and not reliant on the school teachers so much. The kids teacher can't come to every students house every night to read with them.

    Part of the reason for NCLB is because throughout recent history, if some school is doing poorly, just give them more money and it'll fix everything. Now we have the opposite. If your school doesn't perform, they yank federal funding. Simple.

    NCLB scared me away from teaching in a public school. During my student teaching in 2007, I hated what I saw and what schools had become due to "teaching to the test" and standardized approaches to education.

    Great video! I hope this will open th eyes of people that are unclear on the NCLB. This is a true representation of the teachers and students, they are what matters in the education process.

    NCLB - is a word smithing for Vouchers. Bottom line elites want to destroy public schools, and eliminate competition!! Elites hate paying for public schools when they send their children to private. They want to privatize education!!!

    This is where I'm becoming concerned. I've been wondering, ever since I picked up Dr. Diane Ravitch's "The Language Police," just how exactly the Department of Education is thinking... Apparently, it's not.

    What's worse: I'm a 17 year old student in high school, soon to turn 18... This madness should end, now.
