No Child Left Behind is based upon public perceptions that public education in the U.S. is failing. The media jumped all over the “Nation at Risk” report and swallowed the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. The Sandia report Above the Law corrected many of the lies in the original report. However, the powers-that-be at the time buried the report and it never saw the light of day until much too late. The systematic suppression of the report is characterized in the later-denied statement that Deputy Secretary of Education said, “You bury this or I’ll bury you.”

What the report claimed:
Command Performance divx
- American students are never first and frequently last academically compared to students in other industrialized nations. American student achievement declined dramatically after Russia launched Sputnik, and hit bottom in the early1980s.
- SAT scores fell markedly between 1960 and 1980. Student achievement levels in science were declining steadily.
- Business and the military were spending millions on remedial education for new hires and recruits.
The Sandia Report (1990)What was actually happening:
- Between 1975 and 1988, average SAT scores went up or held steady for every student subgroup.
- Between1977 and 1988, math proficiency among seventeen-year-olds improveds lightly for whites, notably for minorities.
- Between 1971 and 1988,reading skills among all student subgroups held steady or improved.
- Between 1977 and 1988, in science, the number of seventeen-year-olds ator above basic competency levels stayed the same or improved slightly.
- Between 1970 and 1988, the number of twenty-two-year-old Americans with bachelor degrees increased every year; the United States led alldeveloped nations in 1988.

All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win the championship. If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable.If after two years they have not won the championship, their footballs and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.
All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time even if they do not have the same conditions or opportunities to practice on their own. NO exceptions will be made for lack of interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities of themselves or their parents. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
In Cold Blood video
Talented players will be asked to workout on their own, without instruction. This is because the coaches will be using all their instructional time with the athletes who aren’t interested in football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don’t like football.
Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th game. It will create a New Age of Sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimum goals.< If no child gets ahead, then no child gets left behind. If parents do not like this new law, they are encouraged to vote for vouchers and support private schools that can screen out the non-athletes and prevent their children from having to go to school with bad football players.

This analogy is not about football, its about expecting perfection for kids under impossible circumstances. Can you expect every child to be score perfectly on that test when every one is different. They are children who must learn, not robots who can simply be programmed. No matter the skill or background, every child must win the state champion ship or the entire school is punished. How about focusing on the coaching instead of the season’s game results. How about helping every child to succeed instead of just the talented ones who will succeed anyway. NCBL is asking the wrong question. So, what is the right question to ask?

Leroy writes: Good God, reading at grade level by 2014? On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced his plan to put a man on the moon and return him him safely, and that happened in 1969. We can put a man on the moon in around 8 years but you cant teach a 9 year old kid to read in about 7? James, you need another job. And, you need to take the NEA with you. WOW,,,

Autopsy video Yes, I know it seems incongruous that all we ask is that all 3rd graders read on grade level. We have struggled for over a century in Missouri to get every student reading on grade level, and no one has managed it yet. Why? Can 100% of Joplin adult residents pass a 12th grade Communication Arts Exam to show they read on grade level? Would you pass? Many of you can answer yes, but not 100% of you. Why? Because everyone is different. People have different interests, different priorities, different ways of communicating, different ways of learning. Kids are no different. Every student walking into my classroom is developmentally different than the others. They have had different experiences, different backgrounds, different home lives. They are not like widgets in a factory that can be manipulated into exact, identical shape. Children are neither identical nor exact. They are children in the process of growing up. Growing up a complex process that involves making mistakes and learning from them. Learning to Read is a complex that takes time. For some it takes more time than others. Yet we pass them on to the next grade whether they are ready or not. This forced system squeezes children into molds into that some are not yet ready for. I take my students as they come to me. Some already reading beyond grade level, some reading on grade level, and some not yet ready. I do everything research says to do…with the resources I have. Some will be ready this year. I will coax some more into reading on grade level. My goal is to have all of them reading on grade level by the end of the year. All I need is 100% support, 100% of the time, from 100% of the people. To those who implied I was a part of NEA. I am not, and never have been, an NEA member. I am instead a teacher just speaking my mind.

Thank you Ron Hutchison for your column in Sunday’s Joplin Globe The Howling the movie , especially since you talked to real teachers. I am a teacher. I had great hopes for the well intentioned “No Child Left Behind” when it passed. The law says that every one for my student must read on grade level by 2014. I have been working to every year for the past 10 years to get every one of my students reading on grade level. I haven’t accomplished it yet, but it looks like in 2014 they will finally make it.

buy Urmel voll in Fahrt NCBL will accomplish this great feat by testing every student every year and punishing schools for those who fail. If one student isn’t proficient, then the whole school fails. Will every school be left behind by 2014? Most likely. Getting 100% of 9 year olds to do most anything is nigh to impossible. You can’t make a pig fatter simply by weighing it, and you can’t make students learn by simply testing them.

The Taming of the Shrew My students have made great improvements over the last few years. Many have come into my classroom reading well below grade-level. Many more, but not all, have left reading on or above grade level. However, it is not enough.
Next year I will have to redouble my efforts to get even more of my 25 students read ing on or above grade level with no additional time, no additional supplies, no additional money, no additional resources, and no additional help. The next year I will need to redouble my efforts with no additional resources. Each year after that I’ll need to redouble my efforts without added help until in 2014 every single one of my 25 or more students is reading on grade level. By 2014 I will have been working for 17 years to get all my students to read on grade level. What a relief that in 2014, after all my efforts, they will finally succeed, thanks to NCLB.
