Jeb's schools flunking chimp's NCLB

Bottom line: note the part that says now that election is over, the rules may be eased to help out the flunking states/schools

Nine out of 10 Florida schools are going to fail to meet the federal No Child Left Behind law this year unless the state delays tougher measures set to go into effect this year, according to a study commissioned by the state's school superintendents.

Schools across the state have been pushing the Florida Department of Education to go to the federal government and renegotiate the measurements that determine whether schools meet the federal standard, called adequate yearly progress.

Last year 77 percent of schools across the state failed the standards -- the worst rate in the nation. This year, under a state step-up plan, the standards would be even harder to meet.

The state's superintendents, school boards and teachers say Florida standards are the toughest in the nation and they are putting pressure on the state to change its benchmarks as other states have already done. Now that the president has been re-elected and there's less pressure on the Bushes, some officials say the state may be more willing to change the benchmarks and give state schools a better opportunity to pass.

1. I don't get it! WTF does the

farcial "election" have to do with NCLB..or Leave No Child A Dime!?

2. Cuz if he weakened it before...

he would have a hard time defending his initial NCLB while he was campaigning? Couldn't have chimp being held accountable and admitting a mistake. An added bonus could be that if he quietly weakens it now, if Jeb boy decides to run for an office in '08, he won't have a stateload full of crappy schools to explain..so what does chimp do for his brother? Adjust the federal law or somehow let Flordia slide and they start to get away with certain stats that the rest of the states couldn't? I have no clue..just wild guesses. Goodness knows chimp got to the prez office with crappy Texas schools on his resume...and if the election fraud continues, the whole "how are things in his state" theory is all moot, anyway.

3. Ah so! Thanks for the

explanation. It All seems rather MOOT right now after bush got in again with such a lousy record.


It's the media we have to dismantle..without them there would be no bush or bushes!
