| Most important issue: | No Child Left Behind is designed to cause public schools to fail and become nonexistent. It needs to be repealed or significantly modified. The gap will not close unless parents of poor and low income families own the fact that it is their responsibility to continue the education that occurs in the classroom in the home, and make educating their children their highest priority. Students must learn math and science in each grade to provide them the greatest chance of success when they graduate. The program for bonding students with schools should be expanded. |
