[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SOL's are a waste of time, but they are mandated by the Commonwealth of VA as it's implementation of No Child Left Behind.  NCLB is an intrusive law passed as the forefront of the education policy of the newly elected President in 2001.  That would be George W. Bush.

By defining metrics to evaluate the the schools, you are defining what will be covered in school.

It is, IMHO, a horrible system.  If you protest by walking out the school will be punished by reduction of federal funds.[/quote]

And his buddy, Teddy Kennedy.  Let's not forget him.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB)[1][2] is a United States Act of Congress that came about as wide public concern about the state of education. First proposed by the administration of George W. Bush immediately after he took office,[3] the bill passed in the U.S. Congress with limited bipartisan support.[4][/quote]

The legislation was proposed by President George W. Bush on January 23, 2001. It was coauthored by Representatives John Boehner (R-OH), George Miller (D-CA), and Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Judd Gregg (R-NH). The United States House of Representatives passed the bill on May 23, 2001 (voting 384–45),[7] and the United States Senate passed it on June 14, 2001 (voting 91–8).[8] President Bush signed it into law on January 8, 2002.

Copied the wrong part.  I guess I would fail my SOLs.[/quote]
