My kids are struggling http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig3799834 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I hate NCLB! I have 3 kids. 1 got through school no problem before NCLB. My other 2 have had nothing but bad grades, failing tests, stress, etc... no matter how hard they try http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig2879639 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST There is a much larger petition that is getting some great attention and they hope to get a million sigs. Google no child left behind petition and it's the first hit. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig2810380 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST From a high-functioning autistic person with Aspergers who actually knows what the fuck is going on, I respond to the last comment: FUCK YOU, WE'RE PEOPLE TOO!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig1941318 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST "No child left behind," execpt for autistic kids. I hate NCLB act. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig1821358 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I wanted to be a teacher, then our professor described No Child Left Behind to us. Goddamn you Bush. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig1541201 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Students need to stop memorizing and start learning. The Praxis test is also a load of crap. I don't know who's genius idea that was but i would love to know how they can get away with charging as much money as they do to run a damn scantron sheet through a automatic scorer. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig1346639 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Alright Mr. President why don't you take a walk through some level one schools in MS or AL and tell me how effective your "act" of concern is for these kids. 5th graders that can barely read or tell time. How did they make it to the 5th grade you ask? Because with all your careful thought into this if students don't improve on their standard test every single year schools lose funding and eventually close. Leaving these kids worse off than your term as president has left the rest of us. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig982925 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST It amazes me that they can require something so expensive and not give the schools money to do it. I wish politicians had to spend a year teaching befre being allowed to make laws on education!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig668774 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST That "No Child Left Behind" thing is a bunch of bull. Here in Colorado, an after school program has to pay 120 dollars for it. Before it was only 5 dollars!!! That no child left behind is a bunch of bullshit! I've created a pitition here to save the program. Sign that pitition and this pitition and we get to prove that George Dubbya is wrong! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig585946 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST the act needs to be reformed!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/stopitnow/#sig456596 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST You don't wanna know what got left in my child's behind.
