[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]for decades we've been cranking out millions of graduates who don't have those skills. That really has to change. [/quote] $64,000 question---will new standards and new tests change this? Will the new standards keep students from graduating (who don't have the skills)? Or will civil disobedience kick in with the "opt out" campaign? [/quote] Civil disobedience? As far as I know, there is no law that says that parents must allow their children to take the tests that are mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act, nor have any parents been fined or thrown in jail for not allowing their children to take the tests. And the No Child Left Behind Act dates back to 2001, so there would have been plenty of opportunity for this to happen.[/quote]
