Reply #7: Daughter and Leave No Child Behind [View All]

[HockeyMom]

Three years ago my daughter was a Senior in HS. Since she had already turned 18, I could not sign that parent's "Do Not Call" register under Leave No Child Behind. So, the Military got her name from the school and called her; AND CALLED AND CALLED AND CALLED. She was getting VERY UPSET that they WOULD NOT TAKE NO for an answer. The man told her "we have not met our QUOTA with your school." At first she told him that she was not interested and to please stop calling. It did no good. So, I finally told her to tell him in no uncertain terms to stop calling her. Actually, she had to literally tell him to SHOVE IT to stop the calls.

I wonder how much of the public knows about this provision of Leave No Child Behind. If they were that desperate 3 years ago with young WOMEN, I can just imagine what it is like today!
