Rename Law? No Wisecrack Is Left Behind

A teacher friend of mine calls it "No Child Gets Ahead". With the emphasis being on testing for rudimentary skill sets, there's neither time nor money for things like advanced science, music, art, or literature. And we're gonna feel the results in about 10 years.

Educators, wonks and assorted rabble-rousers are working to rename the No Child Left Behind act.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
