This is exactly the ammunition I've been looking for to attach this rediculous policy. Main stream media is reporting that "scores are up since the 'No Child Left Behind' bill was signed into law." But here are the facts.....Each state sets their own standards. Meaning? The scores are meaningless! As the NY Times reports:
"For example, an eighth grader in Tennessee can meet that state's standards for math proficiency with a state test score that is the equivalent of a 230 on the national test. But in Missouri, an eighth grader would need the equivalent of a 311."
No Child Left Behind is a meaningless waste of tax payer dollars. It is a way for this administration to claim to be helping the children, when in fact they do no such thing. Arguments?!?
