Teacher Rejects the Madness of No Child Left Behind.

1 decade 6 years 2 months 1 week ago

This brave teacher - who is refusing to play along with NCLB at the risk of his job - explains some of the madness that is NCLB.

NCLB is another deceptive Bush program which costs us $100,000,000,000.00 a year (most of it going to no-bid-contract-Bush-crony McGraw Hill) and has no effect other than to funnel tax dollars to Bush buddies. Educational progress has slowed considerably since NCLB's implementation.

NCLB has shifted the focus from actual learning to test taking skills and memorization. It's expensive, time consuming and punishes the schools that need the most help.

Call to your legislators. Tell them that canceling NCLB would both improve our educational system and save us $100,000,000,000.00 per year.

We don't need another 'system', we need more schools, teachers and books. How many books could you buy with $100,000,000,000.00?
