"Last month's report by America's Promise Alliance concluded that nationwide, nearly 1.2 million students drop out of school every year and that about seven out of ten of students graduate on time. While these alarming statistics may only seem a problem for failing schools and the children they affect, the loss of potential along with the economic burden on society as a whole should be of immense concern for all of us."

New legislation is not going to solve the problem, this nation needs to reassess its definition of education if we want the future to look bright for the next generation. The No Child Left Behind Act has done nothing but put more pressure on teachers and schools to meet a "standard" while the federal government does little to help failing schools provide a more adequate education.

  • This is so true, especially in California right now. With so many teachers laid off come next school year thanks to the Govenator, I'm positive that many children will be left behind, simply because they won't have the human resources they need in order to prosper. In the end, it's clear that the biggest child--No, the biggest baby in this situation, is good ol' Georgey Boy himself.
