We don't have enough accountability as it is in the school system for our kids. Now they want to take even that away. How many of us continue to fight to get the best education for our kids? If they take away the No Child Left Behind we will be even further put back than we were over 10 years ago.To: deniseslist Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2011 8:04 PMSubject: FDDC: Waiver Request for No Child Left Behind
