No Child Left Behind, My Aunt Fanny
The following is a little something I wrote while enduring yet another mind-boggling-ignorant seminar/lecture about Bushie's 'No Child Left Behind' idea. (yet another piece of shit that looks good on paper but in reality simply will not work. . . .)

Ahem.

"Responding to demands from organized groups of concerned and dissatisfied parents, the State has hired an official Photographer. This official Photographer's goal is to ensure parents that all children will be attractive and well-groomed when exhibited publically in the yearbook and at the mall.
'No Child Looks Like A Behind,' the agency and motto set up by the State, will be implemented this year, and by spring 2004, 93% of all students enrolled in Indiana schools will be evaluated. Any child found to be stlil below established standards, ie 'ugly,' will be referred to the district's Reconstruction Committee, which will identify specific problems, and recommend procedures and practices which can sculpt the child acording to his/her individual needs.

Next year, the State will begin to implement the somewhat controversial "No Child Acts Like A Behind" program. Details will follow shortly."
