No child left behind is a disaster no argument there at all. However we also need to look at the teachers union and all the shit that they do as well. We pour tons of money into schools and I'm still not sure where it goes. Also not everybody needs or deserves a college education. There is nothing at all wrong with trade schools. I have no idea how to be a plumber or electrician...somebody needs to do that stuff as well. We need to get back to basics. Reading/English/math/science/history....team sports and thats it. Stop worring about PC bullshit, hurting little johnny's feelings over dodge ball. Teach what these kids need to survive and thrive.
