Should "No Child Left Behind" Law be left behind?

If you think that President Bush's "No Child Left Behind" Law is unfair to many public schools and should be put to bed, you are definitely not alone. A web article from the Washingtion Post reveals that the National Conference on State Legislatures, an organization consisting of several representatives from all 50 states, has declared war on Bush's education plan, which is considered to be "unconstitutional."

In a 77-page report created by the group, they say that the law will lead to "lower academic standards, increased segregation, and the driving away of top teachers from needy schools."

The group believes that Bush and his crew should back off and let state legislatures deal with their own education issues.
