1) Underfunded, we know that...

2) I realize you need to seperate the good kids from the kids who have no desire to learn but what are you going to do with those kids? Let them roam the streets so they can commit vandalism or break into peoples' houses. Plus think about it, it's called "No Child Left Behind" yet he wants to leave behind all of those kids who don't try in school. Seems hypocritical to me. Unfortunately the guy who's probably going to be my next governor worked in the Bush administration and is supporting policies very similar to this.

3) Some kids are bad at test taking. I think other things need to be focused on such as their grades in the class and class participation, etc. Granted these tests should be so simple that none of the kids should have trouble passing them unfortunately this isn't the case.
