What's wrong with the No Child Left Behind Act?
Advertisements [?]
Can someone give me the DU perspective on this because from what I've heard (mostly from the slimy media) it doesn't seem bad at all.

It bases education on standardized tests and fires those teachers and principles responsible for low test scores. I've always supported standardized testing because, let's face it, there are plenty of students who are urchins and do nothing in school but sell drugs. These people don't deserve to graduate. There is also a heavily subjective factor in school grades.

Is it true that Ted Kennedy supported it?
