I'm thinking along the same lines as smooth. "No Child Left Behind" is very simply a plan to destroy the secular public school system and allow the government to fund education in religiously affiliated private schools.
My brother was screwed out of assistance this past year because the school is rushing to reclassify students as not learning-disabled because a single absence during the testing leaves the school below the percentage needed for a passing grade. Since they can't triple the number of LD students, the're just cuttin gdown until they ahve a manageable number who they can be sure of getting through the tests.
