text: no child left behind???? how many of you have heard of the no child left behind act of 2001? i am actually starting to believe that the act was put in place to leave some children behind. what do the school districts plan on doing in 2 years when over half of the senoir class has to come back because they couldn't pass the math wasl??? if kids are going to have "advisory" where they are tested to see what kind of career they are going to be in, then why are the kids forced to pass test that have nothing to do with their career choices? i have decided that i am not retaking the math wasl. one administrator told me that we aren't going to be given a choice, wether or not we retake it, but i want a choice, and so therefore, i am not retaking the math wasl. and if i have to repeat my senoir year 10 times, so be it. i don't think that standardized tests are equal. it is a proven fact that some kids are better at some subjects than others. so why rub it in when a kid that has a talent in writting can't do trig??? did you know that special ed kids are give the same tests as the regular kids?  in louisiana instead of the wasl they have the leap test, and i have a cousin who dropped out of special ed because he (his whole class) was give then same leap as the regular kids in his "grade" and he couldn't pass it three times.  that's some kinda bull.
