by user Layla I received this in my email today and it never ceases to amaze me how biased some are regarding our public school system. This is just another example of criticism against No Child Left Behind, which helps children get ahead. Also, I might add that those children that excel in their studies are not hindered by the program, but are encouraged to progress towards advancement. As for those tax dollars spent on the program - they are well spent when you consider all the pork spending that goes on in our government. Also not mentioned in the press release is the tax payer dollars wasted at the local level and not limited to many a school district.
