Comments on: Another Obama Power Grab? http://www.thepostemail.com/2010/01/27/another-obama-power-grab/ News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:04:56 +0000 hourly 1 By: catsden http://www.thepostemail.com/2010/01/27/another-obama-power-grab/comment-page-1/#comment-5191 catsden Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:25:25 +0000 http://www.thepostemail.com/?p=6770#comment-5191 Every step the government takes to control education weakens this country. I was teaching k-1 classes when No Child Left Behind was being introduced. (I've also taught college classes for several years so I looked to the long term effects and was horrified). So many teachers left because the day to day decisions about what students needed were taken out of their hands. This country does not have a "standard student." How can we possibly have a standard method of teaching and testing? We can not. My daughter has been teaching special ed classes for a couple of years and she is so frustrated with the standardized curriculum that she is already thinking of quitting. This move is dangerous and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. Every step the government takes to control education weakens this country.
