At least, I don't think so.

Think about it. NCLB is a program started by the Bush Administration, to help children- Mentally Handicapped, especially. It teaches them on a same level as the other children, but with more time devoted to them.

I'm not going to gloss over the good things- Student testing, teacher quality. Yes, that's good. But this detail is what I find bad. Don't think I'm some richboy genius- I struggled in school, for sure. Got kicked out of my fair share. But I made it. I know what it feels like.

First of all, taking time away from other children is bad. I understand that the handicapped people need some level of understanding, yes. But when you take time away from the children who can really understand it, the people of the future.

Second- Most of the handicapped have an incurable disease. I see no reason to teach them anything they frankly won't use it. They can't understand it. Why bother to teach them complicated stuff such as high level math?

I guess I sound pretty bad saying this, but it's my opinion.
