The NCLB has done nothing but hurt Utah schools. When I was in college I had a colleague who taught U.S. History for 30 years at the University level including supervising student teachers. After he retired he wanted to volunteer at a high school but was told he didn't qualify! He would of had to have gone back and take the class he once taught. Utah educators need to be able to make thier own decisions. The same program that works in Harlem or Atlanta won't work in Kanab or Rich. The square peg doesn't go in the round hole. Bishops right on target.

It is all the Democates fault because NCLB was a system devised by Texans and George adopted the idea as his own. So blame the Democrates where the blame is due and move forward with the pharmacuticals to keep our children safe.

Thank you Chris Cannon for taking up this issue. Matheson has simply introduced language that won't go anywhere. Cannon has started working in a different context on real reform, thanks.

Bishop has a bill that's not going anywhere; it's going to die quietly and do nothing and Cannon's working group is going to come up with the same stuff Matheson's bill did because it sounds like they talk to the same people. No matter what, the schools need more money; way more money.
