Democrats really don't care about "students". They're focus is on teacher salaries and new facility construction.

They didn't get educated themselves and see no reason why we should waste money on educating others.

Until now, Obama has stood firm on the subject of education reform, resisting efforts to cripple the Bush standards. Now he has retreated even from this position to the detriment of our children.

Here's an idea: Let's dump the Bush standards entirely. And let's tell Obama to butt out as well. The federal government has no business meddling in education.

Trend here? “Obama announced a series of changes in the No Child Left Behind Law, most of which will weaken it and might even cripple the efforts to raise school standards.”

And for welfare reform, “Under the new (Obama stimulus) system, states will once again be paid more if their Welfare roles increase. States will actually be paid even more than under the system that was in effect prior to 1996. The government has added $4 billion per year to help states increase their welfare roles.”

I don’t think he can hurt “no child left behind”, it doesn’t work, students are getting a very limited education as they teach to the test.

I think that students should take the same grade appropriate test in the first and last week of school and if the majority of the students have learned what they should have then great if they haven’t then the teacher needs to be fired.

Obama wants to find the "5,000 chronically failing schools"

Hey, Barry--let me make that easy for you. Look in the cities where you got the highest percentage of votes.

Given this administration’s racist and union proclivities, maybe there will be a new program named “No Black Teacher Left Behind.” The heck with the students.

Obama needs to go.
