Sounds like the "No Child Left Behind" act failed and should be abolished.

Sadly No Child Left Behind morphed form trying to make kids smart enough to not fail...to just lowering the standards so that just about anyone can pass...and the damage of having so low standards can be...rather damning.

Also, as someone with horrible handwriting I can see why making everyone write in pencil would just be cruel, but I did just use a word processor back when labtops were not wide spread, and in the end such things are just about the only way to make sure students would not use the internet.

The problem is putting the genie back in the bottle...few ever take loosing a privilege well, its more about getting enough parents to realize its to insure the system is not forever broken...
