Why does this scare me?

This was a program that never should have been started in the first place. For all of you right wingers talking about we need reform, but not THIS reform, No Child Left Behind is a perfect example of it. If you have kids that are in school you would understand this, but if you don't then you wouldn't. NCLB forces schools to teach to the test, so if there is something that is important that the writers of the test don't feel that it is, then you kids will know nothing about it. I am sure that Bush had good intentions with this, but the result should frighten all of us.

Just another reason to leave Obama behind. Every President has had their only ideas to fix education yet none of the ideas have worked. Why would anyone think that Obama will be any different?

Barack HUSSEIN Obama has scared me since he first arrived on the scenee ... before he was elected. The Communist appears to have plans for AMERICA that America is not prepared for. 'Nuf said!

Government hurt education in the first place. Why would anyone think they can or will fix it? Throwing more money at the problem isn't going to solve anything. It never has. Education is important to people with children, but I hope the voters will remember how the democrats have handled it in the past and not be fooled into forgetting other issues such as the democrats trying to jam the health care bill down our throats even though the majority of Americans don't want it. Have you ever noticed when a democrat talks about education, they usually refer to the schools performance and not the students? I wonder how many schools get a good rating but have students who are failing. If they were really interested in the students learning, they would have passed the School Voucher Bill.

Everything about Obama scares me because he is a lying, deceptive, arrogant, evil, and America-hating traitor. But, what scares me even more, are the millions of Americans who allow this monster to continue to destroy our nation by allowing him to wield any power at all. I am sickened by our corrupt government, every branch of which KNOWS he is not legally our president, but, rather than protect us, allow this weasel to dismantle our every freedom. The monster cannot "fix" anything, other than the 2008 fake election that was "fixed" by so many of his gangster, America-hating friends. As long as millions continue in this insanity, day after day, he will continue in the erosion of our Constituion and laws and every protection we barely have left.

The more balls in the air, the higher the liklihood that one will fall to the ground. Don't be surprised when cap and trade, illegal immigration, education, health-care reform, another stimulus, and a bunch of other major plans/programs are all on the front burner boiling. I think part of the Administrtion's strategy is to overload the system in hopes something or some things will get through without proper debate/discussion/dialogue.

The problem with the government interfering with Education is they make a lot of rules and regulations but don't fully fund the programs. Look at IDEA (Special Education) several years ago, when I was involved in education, it was costing 18 billion for tall the programs and modifications that had to be made. The Federal government was paying between 1-2 Billion toward the expense and their money came with so many strings that to spend all the money you had to waste some of it on equipment you rarely used or duplicating supplies. For example most class rooms had one computer. The special education Classrooms had several and often more that the number of students just to spend the money. The same thing with Title 1 money. I often attuned conferences with teachers because if teachers were going they had to have an administrator with them (Title 1 rules). I don't know what the President is porpoising but it will be expensive and not always in the best interest of the children.
