Wisc. AG: School Reforms Can't Be Forced
MADISON, Wis. --
Wisconsin's attorney general has issued an opinion that the federal
government can't force states to comply with the No Child Left Behind
Act without fully funding it.
The opinion released Thursday was the first in the country from a
state attorney general on the education reform measure, according to
the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager said "clear and compelling"
language in the law itself says the federal government can't make
states or school districts pay the law's mandated costs for improved
education.
The opinion could be the first step toward a lawsuit challenging the
law, said Scott Young, NCSL education policy associate.
State education officials did not immediately return messages from The
Associated Press Thursday evening.
No Child Left Behind is the centerpiece of President Bush's domestic
agenda.
Teachers and lawmakers nationwide have criticized the measure, saying
it costs too much and its requirements are too strict.

Definition: Would require teachers to teach, and students to learn.

Real definition - purposely designed to drain school budgets (since Bush
refuses to release the funds, has refused the entire time since its passage)
so they must fail, and even if they don't, purposely designed to make all
schools fail in 2012 when they require 100.00% test passes, and disregard
the special needs of disabled students entirely.

Requires teacher to teach to a test, not necessarily what a youngster
needs to learn.

The Texas Miracle
Jan. 7, 2004
It was called the "Texas Miracle," and you may remember it because
President Bush wanted everyone to know about it during his
presidential campaign.
It was about an approach to education that was showing amazing
results, particularly in Houston, where dropout rates plunged and test
scores soared.
Houston School Superintendent Rod Paige was given credit for the
school success, by making principals and administrators accountable
for how well their students did.
Once he was elected president, Mr. Bush named Paige as secretary of
education.
And Houston became the model for the president’s "No Child Left
Behind" education reform act.
Now, as Correspondent Dan Rather reports, it turns out that some of
those miraculous claims which Houston made were wrong.
And it all came to light when one assistant principal took a close
look at his school’s phenomenally low dropout rates -- and found that
they were just too good to be true.
...
His own school claimed that no students -- not a single one -- had
dropped out in 2001-2002.
But that’s not what Kimball saw:
"I had been at the high school for three years, and I had seen many,
many students, several hundred a year, go out the door. And I knew
that they were quitting. They told me they were quitting."
...
All in all, 463 kids left Sharpstown High School that year -- for a
variety of reasons.
The school reported zero dropouts, but dozens of the students did just
that.
School officials hid that fact by classifying, or coding them as
leaving for acceptable reasons: transferring to another school, or
returning to their native country.
...
Sharpstown High wasn’t the only "outstanding" school.
The Houston school district reported a citywide dropout rate of 1.5
percent.
But educators and experts 60 Minutes II checked with put Houston’s
true dropout rate somewhere between 25 and 50 percent.
"But the teachers didn’t believe it. They knew it was cooking the
books. They told me that. Parents told me that," says Kimball.
...
