What does Bloomberg want to do? Give the kids hourly urine screens to make sure they aren't smoking tobacco?
I sure hope Jeb hasn't been hanging out with Bloomie! It is bad enough that 41 adopted Slick Willie!
Tough standards should be set at the state and local level, but knowing how angry the National Education Association is, No Child Left Behind has its good points.
Education needs to be reformed with accountability (people lose jobs) and tough standards. Elected people who are NEA's puppets need to be taken out everywhere including state legislatures and local school boards.
Its sad but true that the "education association" routinely supports almost all Republicans who run and get elected to the state legislature in my area.
Parents need to hold their children to high standards, too. That's the one thing I will always agree with classroom teachers on.
