Is it like P.S.H.E? | |ic |(Don't take drugs, don't catch sexually transmitted | |2004-08-|dieseases and remember to wear a bicycle helmet?) | |23 |Anyway, you make a good point about how that programme | |ch 1, |isn't working. And I agree with another reveiwer who said | |signed |it's partly un-equal distribution of funds. | | |But with our school, it was that they got given a lot of | | |money but told they could only use it in specific ways. | | |One of these was: have electronic registers because it | | |will help solve truency! WHAT?! | | |Sorry, I ramble. A very good essay maybe you should send | | |it too your local govt., tell them to get their act | | |together. | |My |It's just telling you how you can live on your own. It's | |Reply: |not like health, but it teaches you budgeting, cooking, | | |child care, etc. | | | | | | | | | | |TaraErin|I don't know much about this "No Child Left Behind" thing,| | |since I'm Australian, but I can relate to the 'overcrowded| |2004-08-|classes and lack of facilities' issue. I too go to what is| |23 |considered a 'good' school, yet we have overcrowded | |ch 1, |classes, not enough teachers and minimal facilities. The | |signed |Aussie liberal (read:conservative) government, being great| | |lovers of all things american, probably saw your | | |government screwing over its youth and thought 'hey, that | | |looks fun, let's do it too'. | | |What is worse is that some schools in some areas actually | | |do have it a lot better than us, which leads me to believe| | |that the problem is perhaps not with a lack of funding, | | |but with the inequality of the distribution of funds. | | |hehe, yeah, got a bit sidetracked there. Good essay, and a| | |very important issue. | | |Cheers | |My |Amusing..and yes. It isn't exactly spread equally. | |Reply: | | | | | | | | |C Shot |Odd, my school is perfectly fine. We get a good twenty | |2004-08-|five students per class, and my class is the biggest one | |22 |the school has ever had. I think the problem with your | |ch 1, |school isnt the no child left behind, it's the lack of | |signed |your state government from stepping up to the occasion. | | | | | |-Curtis | |My |Blame it on Shwartzenagger, lol. But seriously, it's the | |Reply: |school board, too. | | | | |JT |The No Child Left Behind Act was, for the most part, an | |Higgins |act to create standards and children were going to be | | |tested to see if they met those standards.
