A small but interesting rider on the NCLB act. It has worked for me to

bring it up.

There is sleeper provision in NCLB making it a federal law that all school's must hand over the names, addresses and phone numbers of incoming juniors and seniors to military recruiters. I have been bringing this up with people and asking them how they feel that fits in with "bettering" their child's education.

No Child Left Behind....They'll all be sent to the sand. :hi:

1. HMMMMM?

"We're talking about teenagers, 16, 17 years old ... Some of them don't have three dollars in their pocket to buy lunch ... You know how the military is now. They're not coming home and when they do, they're coming home in boxes."

2. Sick, isn't it? I think this is something we should be bringing up seeing

as Bush is resting so much of his campaign on NCLB.

Excellent quote by the way.
