I actually thought it was a good idea. 2+2 DOES IN FACT =4, I thought holding the kids to learning expectations was a good thing. I guess I didn't account for cheating. Well stupid me. Yes I know this was taxpayer funded but again I thought teaching kids the basics and requiring them to know the basics was a good thing. Damn, hold up two fingers on one hand and two fingers on the other and ask, How many. I know there is more more to it but cmon isn't this the curriculum. not asking students to fly to the moon just be “educated”. I did not realize it would turn into state sponsored cheating.

Tell a teacher a certain percentage of her students must make a certain grade or she’s out of a job and watch her cheat. Not saying they all would but if that’s the only way to keep her job....that’s basically what NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND does. The truth of the matter is some of them SHOULD be left behind.
