2. Hasn't hurt the schools here...

but our district doesn't rely on federal money all that much so they don't care one way or the other about it. Our superintendent called it a joke and he was thankful they didn't need the funds. He did say there were many schools that needed money desperately and would suffer for it.

3. I'll second that

and I would like to know what Miss Spelling and * would say to the kids that say they are sick of learning how to take tests and would be happy just to learn...

4. It's a POS .....

KWAME HOLMAN: Senator John Edwards said he made a mistake by voting for No Child Left Behind.

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS: I believe in accountability. I believe in standards. I believe that every child is entitled to a quality education. But the truth is that we've put too much faith in a Bush administration administering that policy, and I've seen what's happened on the ground. It's been devastating, not just here in Iowa, but all over this country.

KWAME HOLMAN: Edwards proposed to change the law's standards to focus more on individual students and less on entire classes.
