I am going to repost a link from a great blog Fed Up With School Lunch that I follow. Mrs. Q has a small article about No Child Left Behind. In it you will find a few informative links to new laws that are being passed and what this all means for our kids. NCLB failed. No doubt about it. I have an anxiety-prone 8 year old to prove it. School is just one big test. No time for creative learning, engaging the students, or excitement about achievement. It is a welcome breath of fresh air to know that we may be on the tail-end of this nonsense. Higher educational standards for our children-YES. Gaining more statistics from standardized tests-NO. Standards for the sake of standards are a waste of these precious minds. The children are our future people. Whitney was right!
