wrong

Bush is right


Are you a teacher?

Probably not.

The "No Child Left Behind" act is a TOTAL Loser!

Ask any Republican Teacher, and there are plenty, and they will tell you the same thing.

It would be great if it dealt with the problem of Illegal Aliens, but it does not.

When you are continually feeding in the children of Illegal Aliens that have no English experience, No Cultural Experience, and whose parents generally have a culture of leaving the teaching of their children to the school district and never really getting involved, YOU HAVE A CONTINUAL RECIPE FOR FAILURE.

BTW, I have two Principles and four teachers in my immediate family. One of the teachers, my wife, is a Reading Specialist. Her responsibility and focus is to bring these children of Illegal Aliens up to speed. Usually this means moving them up at least 2 to 4 grades as that is how much they are behind.

Try living up to the strict guidelines of the No Child Left Behind act when your school district is 70% to 90% Hispanic and then you get back to me about how RIGHT President Bush is about this monstrosity.

Blind support for any man, without looking at the facts, is something that Conservatives should not engage in.

Thank you. You did a good job of pointing out many of the flaws of this program.

The NCLB is a TOTAL LOSER! (Teacher speaking here.) I've yet to hear from ANY teacher, conservative OR liberal, that thinks it's any good. What does that tell ya?

...I have two Principles...

Only two? Doesn't your conscience bother you a lot?

The President has also done some good things for this country.

I am a teacher, and a conservative. The only thing wrong with NCLB is that the federal gov’t has no business in education.

Bills are written by the Congress, which is run by the Democrats. The President signs the bills into law. Blame your Teachers Union.
