Do schools here in the US have enough funding? To little? Where does this funding need to be applied?
My thoughts:
The No Child Left Behind act should be called the No Child Allowed Ahead Act. Though it helps the less bright students, allowing them some breathing space, it does nothing for the smart kids. For example, where I live, Ohio. (not sure if this is nationwide) The state is required to test students and identify them as advanced proficient, but it does not require any classes for said students. So, the students end up bored in regular classes, done with their work way early, being asked by teachers to help the students who don't even try because they don't have to, thanks to NCLB...
There's more, but my dinner is ready and I don't feel like typing any more...
