What an idea!!

The headline from the Lawrence Journal-World:

State to Explore Abandoning No Child Left Behind

Here are a couple of key paragraphs from the article:

The education board has been sharply divided between moderates and conservatives on numerous issues, but it has agreed within the next couple of months to take a look at what the impact would be if the state disengaged from NCLB and refused the federal funding associated with it. The board also will explore trying to get Congress to change the law.

Abrams said the NCLB requirement that 100 percent of school children reach proficiency in math and reading tests by 2014 is “statistically impossible.”

Amen.
