""Why do schools fail? Because nothing in the "No Child Left Behind Act" will affect the dumbing-down agenda of the educators who presently control the system. Even if phonics is taught in the first grade, its advantages will be lost by the time the child reaches the fourth grade. We know this from the fact that some children who have been taught to read by phonics at home before attending school, experience a decline in academics after attending public school. Thus, don't get your hopes up too high and expect miracles in a system that keeps the Maker of miracles out.""

No vouchers......No threat......No change. Eight billion more to further the NEA cause. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
