Obama's Plan to Cripple Education Reforms

I don't know about all of the statistics people are quoting. I am sure they are all true. But I do know facts based on one child, my granddaughter. Through the "no child left behind" law she was continually passed to the next grade but did not pass her classes in school. Therefore when senior year came and graduation time came she did not have the credits to graduate. This is more of the gold star for showing up, making them look good in front of their piers instead of truly paying attention to the education of our children. She has since gone on to get her GED but the struggle is wrong. No child should pass for showing up, there should always be a test to validate the learning that went hand-in-hand with the teaching.
