No Child Left Behind | Socyberty"No Child Left Behind" was meant to push teachers into insuring that all children learned, passed all tests, and wouldn’t be left behind to repeat the same grade. It did sound like a good plan, but it hasn’t worked. Classes were dumbed down for poor learners. Teachers have been pressed hard. Their time in the class room is a rigid set of rules. They must drill students daily in math and reading so slow learners pass standard tests. No students can be held back and schools are failing at a greater rate than ever before. Government has not provided the resources they promised. It’s time to hand the schools back to the states and get on with learning.
GOP Exploits The Poor | TrifterThe poorest of the poor live on the margins of society and struggle to keep the families afloat. They own no cars and as a result have no drivers license. They cannot afford to travel and have no passports. They have no bank accounts because they often do day work and are paid for a few hours here, a few hours there in cash. They have no picture ID. Now the state of South Carolina and other GOP controlled states also want to take away their right to vote.
