So I wouldn't attribute effects of NCLB on sports records, or natural disasters, or the like, until at least 2004. NCLB causing Hurricane Katrina, the closing down of Oldsmobile, or the falling price of plasma TV's, yes; NCLB effects on United Airlines bankruptcy, the outbreak of mad cow disease and the rise of the metrosexual in 2003, not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589405835312873091.post-27849109558325305672007-09-27T21:22:00.000-04:002007-09-27T21:22:00.000-04:00I guess he thinks that NCLB is the new wonder drug...I guess he thinks that NCLB is the new wonder drug next to Prozac! I just don't understand why the politicians don't "get" it! Everyone I talk to (parents and teachers) know this is not the answer to all of our problems but where are they when it comes election time? Or is it because we have to always vote for the lesser of the 2 evils?loonyhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378360383088143368noreply@blogger.com
