Reply #1: Don't Reauthorize NCLB! [View All]

The people closest to their own children know best what is best for … their own children.

International, national and state standards should be abandoned — all that really matters is the quality of education demanded by parents through their LOCAL school boards.

Adoption of more educratically defined standards and the move towards a national curriculum will, in fact, further degrade the actual education of our children … and will further turn real teachers into bureaucratic robots.

NCLB should absolutely NOT be reauthorized and a discussion on real education reform should be started — not yet another fake discussion that merely devolves back to pleas for more money and more centralized power over schools.
