Leaving Children Behind

Don't you get sick of the self-adulating rhetoric of the politicians and this White House, America?

"Six states get waiver on education law

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Six states received permission to develop their own solutions to troubled schools under the Bush administration's signature education law: Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, and Ohio. The decision, revealed yesterday, is a softening from how No Child Left Behind works, with schools having to take certain steps at specific times for missing testing goals. Critics have contended that the approach is too rigid. The six states created plans to closely tailor solutions to problems and focus resources on schools in the worst shape (AP July 2, 2008)."

My feeling now -- and this is tough coming from a former lefty from Massachusetts -- is now NO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT involvement in the schools AT ALL!

LOCAL, LOCAL, LOCAL -- and HOME SCHOOL if you wish, Americans!
