No Child Left Behind (NCLB) - Scrap, Keep or Punt until 08?
The reauthorization of No Child Left Behind will be a contentions battle. We knew that. We knew it would be politically polarizing and that it would get worse due to the coming Presidential elections as both the candidates of both parties steer toward the extremes in order to survive the primaries. That is happening.
On Monday, July 23, CNN and YouTube hosted the Democratic presidential candidates debate in Charleston, SC and NCLB came up. The replies fit the expectation perfectly. Some candidates said scrap it, others said it should be reauthorized and others acknowledged that it needs work but that its focus on accountability should not be lost in the process. That about covers the spectrum; and that, if nothing else, makes it clear that the law, barring something extraordinary, will not likely be be completed in 2007. As many pundits have predicted, it will likely become a creature of the 2008 Presidential election. And, no, Bill Richardson's response is not remixed. He just had some trouble with idea flow, but he got his point across. There is, however, a cut to Sen. Dodd's response who jumped in during the next question regarding whether their own children go to public or private school.

Don't leave us behind - Make us think! NCLB Education Crisis
From his hometown of Miami Springs, Florida representing all other US school children who are bored, uninspired and tired of a public system that is ignoring their needs and abilities, this precocious nine year-old wants to ask how ALL the presidential candidates plan to fix the NCLB law and it's negative residual effects.
The NCLB law is not working and leaving so many kids behind as a nation whether learning disabled, gifted or anywhere in between! As a direct result of this law and it's funding, the states are just using standardized practice test taking curriculum targeted at the minimum grade level standards rather than empowering children with knowledge to apply in novel situations in their future endeavors. The minds of our future leaders are at risk! HELP!
Whether democrat, republican, or independent this educational crisis issue for the 2008 election should be one of the front runners of concern. What plans do the 2008 Presidential candidates have to rescue American children from being left behind the rest of the educated planet? How will our children compete with highly skilled and prepared foreign educated students without improvement in our current US educational practices and standards?
Learning can and should be innovative, fun, enriching, challenging, and thought provoking rather than outdated constant monotonous rote memory practice to truly bring us on the cutting edge of 21st century technology and society. Also along with revamping the system, shouldn't more funding be directly committed to improving the education of our youth which is so closely woven into the future of each and every American?
special notes from the kid in the video:
ps - VOTE - make your opinions heard!
pps - Voting trivia
Tuesday was picked as a voting day in November for two reasons - one -the harvest was over and two - it gave people time to travel to the polls if on foot or by horse etc
Now with the modern convenience of cars, buses, subways etc what is stopping so many voters from making it out to vote??
In a modern world ...Think of it this way, Tuesday is perfect because having Monday come first is a reminder to vote tomorrow. You can even have a long weekend and still make it to vote.
Vote, do it and be counted because we kids are depending on you!
