I'm sure you know that "No Child Left Behind" is federal code for "All Children Left Behind" since it is geared to the lowest common denominator. We need to prepare our children to work at their highest levels in convenience stores and fast-food restaurants.

Actually, its the public education system that's geared to the least common denominator. The NCLB is simply written to deal with the realities of the failing system they're trying to salvage.
