NCLB...better known as "why my kids never have snow routes"

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!
