any education reform they come up with is going to have pros and cons. i just don't see anything working for the way most kids are today...you can't force a kid to learn anything, and closing down the kids nearest school and shipping them 15 miles to the next one isn't going to make the kid learn...it will get some stagnant teachers out of the system though... there were quite a few teachers when i was growing up that had the whole "i don't care, i get paid no matter what" attitude. oh well, something i really don't have to worry about

Of course... there are pros and cons to almost everything, but some people are just ignorant and turn a blind eye pretending those cons don't exist.

Of course people who work in the education field hate No Child Left Behind. Thanks to President Bush and the Republicans, for the first time ever teachers and school systems are going to be held accountable for the performance of students. If kids don't learn, you lose your job or your funding. It is a pretty basic concept, but Democrats have been fighting it for years because they are bought off by America's teacher unions, who don't want teachers to be held accountable for their job performance the same way any other person is held accountable at their job. When schools and teachers have to compete and produce, everyone wins...except for incompetent teachers and adminstrators
Another great part of NCLB is that it lets poor students that live in areas with bad schools to send their kids to better schools in different areas. It is easy for Democrats like John Kerry or Bill Clinton to oppose school choice because they can afford to send their own children to the most expensive private schools in the world. But what about poor, inner city students that are stuck in a bad school system? The Democrats want them to be forced to go to that crappy school. Thankfully, President Bush knows there is a better way. No Child Left Behind is one of the reasons why President Bush was re-elected because it is going to revolutionize education in this country.

Like most republicans you apparently have no problem blatantly mangling the truth. Someone probably spoonfed you misinformation, so it may not be your fault, but FYI John Kerry and most democrat supported NCLB. Even Teddy Kennedy supported it. Your statement that John Kerry opposed it because he is bought off by teachers unions, is an outright lie.
Kerry criticized Bush, for underfunding his own program. And if you care so much about accountability, why don't you hold the president accountible, for using tax payer money on political propaganda? Or better yet, why don't you show some integrity for making posting outright lies about the democratic party? Unfortunately, the modern republican party is the party of double standards.

BTW i'm still waiting on some sort of perverted justification for the fact that the Bush Administration is paying people off to say good things about their policies. Fuck arguing about NCLB, thats another thread. Altho maybe some of you will surprise me and actual admit this was blatantly wrong.
