When I use the term equivalency I mean the tests Achievement tests. They are getting curved and dumbed down so American students can pass. As you well know America is a nation where it's extremely hard to be equal. It's an individualist nation, so that would be extremely stupid. I'm talking about equivalency bar set in the world as far as tests. Thats what these guys want, a nation riddled with dumbasses.

If you are refering to the No Child Left Behind Act like I think you are the thing was set up to fail from the start. The only people to stupid to see it were the President and Congress. Not only does it expect schools to improve their scores from year to year (do these idiots think the same kids will stay there forever?) but if they don't it will cut funding (how the hell is that supposed to rememdy the problem?) and to top it all off, mentally disabled kids are lumped in with everyone else. So if you go from having 2 mentally disabled kids in one year, to having an influx of 10 the next so that you know have 12 mentally disabled kids taking these tests to try to keep federal money coming into the school. Especially when the kids who are not disabled don't give a damn (why should they, they won't be effected by the loss of revenue, /sarcasm) drag down the scores on purpose or are just plain dumb like the kid in the original post, the school gets royally screwed because Bush is an idiot. McCain or Obama need to take that idiotic act off of the books the second they get into office. Yes I know that was a bit of a rant but my mom is a teacher and to listen to her talk about dumb ass kids not trying on these tests and how mentally disabled kids struggle their hardest to try not to let the school down I get really pissed off at Bush for his stupidity.
