Considering the plan is nothing more than huggy-feely words meant give them something to laugh about when people actually expect them to do something for children (yes, they're like that; see Katrina)...

Yahoo news summation called the plan "No Child". This rings true. Try to use the phrase "No Child" whenever you refer to this debacle.

(Sorry, no link as it was a link itself.)

1. I used it just today in a thread.
In all seriousness, this crazy pandemic must stop. The schools have had their budgets stripped to the bone. That was one of the contributing factors in todays incident.

Why spend money on metal detectors when you can waste it on this insane No Child bullshit?

2. As a parent I believe NCLB is absolute crap. It hurts our schools and the children in them far more
than it helps.
