Eight years after President Bush introduced the bumper sticker No Child Left Behind, the results are in regarding the aptitude of our nations high school graduates.
And it doesn't look pretty.
The Bush federal educational mandate was funded less than 20% of what the President had promised during the course of the 2000 campaign, and the waiting and seeing has now ended after the SAT reported their latest test findings yesterday.
Our high school students are the dumbest they've been in a decade, in all subject matters. SAT test scores, on average, are the lowest since 1998.
They don't read so good.
They ain't got no comprehension.
Two plus two equals, er, what was the question again?
It's time to put a little trust back into the creative autonomy of our public school teachers and release the metrics driven curriculum requirements that are sent from the big Principal in Washington.
Otherwise our children will grow up to butcher the English language and fragment their syntax.
Just like our President does.

Creating dumb children is perfect! Your looking at this all wrong. The surgeon general stated that this generation won't outlast their parents. Why invest in a lemon? Besides, by keeping the curve nice and low, it makes it easier for us older folks to get and keep jobs. And we'll need them because we'll never get to retire.
