I never thought about the educational system until I had children of my own. I am a product of uniformed schools and getting to college and realizing I was vast years behind. Graduating at the top of a low performing school and not knowing that others schools not only offered more arts and music but deeper academic preparation is not the answer either. An awareness of the program is only diagnosing the problem while NCLB seems to put us further in arrears, I think it magnifies an underlying problem.<br /><br />How to correct it is another topic. Money is wasted with Title I schools and a lot of funding is returned because low performing schools are busy disciplining and testing that no one is looking for programs that work or methods that are proven.<br /><br />It's going to take an extreme amount of leg work and pushing and praying and trying and failing in order to correct this mass production of downward spiraling education.<br /><br />NCLB has not fixed the problem...it is just the flood light that is needed to let others see how deep the problem already was!!!!!My journey Your journey Our journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356416508407810454noreply@blogger.com
