 No Child Left Behind: The Football Version

 1.  All teams must make the state playoffs, and all will win  
    the championship. If a team does not win the  championship, they will
    be on probation until they are  the champions, and coaches will be
    held  accountable.

 2. All kids will be expected to have the same  football skills
   at the same time and in the same conditions.  No exceptions will be
   made for interest in  football, a desire to perform athletically, or  
   genetic abilities or disabilities. ALL KIDS  WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A

PROFICIENT LEVEL.

 3. Talented  players will be asked to work out on their own
    without  instruction. Coaches will use all their instructional time  
     with the athletes who aren't interested in  football, have limited
     athletic ability or  whose parents don't like football.

  4. All coaches will be  proficient in all aspects of football,
       or  they will be released.

 5.  Games will be played year round,  but statistics will only
       be kept  in the 4th, 8th and 11th games.

 6. This will create a New Age of  sports where every school is
     expected to  have the same level of talent and all teams will reach  
     the same minimal goals

We already have that in the NFL. Its Called Parity, and enforced through the salary cap.

In our school district, they added a new one. No child will be retained in the same grade regardless of what they have not learned. Move them forward at all costs. Amen. PS by third grade they can then be labeled learning disabled and afforded additional help at significant cost. Amen.
