- billeh 14y agoThe best I've heard is "At least you will be able to think critically." Was that really left out of the previous 12 years' curriculum?

- w1ntermute 14y agoThis is largely FUD in well-to-do districts. Having gone through the public school system after NCLB was passed in a district consisting primarily of upper middle class students, I rarely heard NCLB or the related standardized tests mentioned. And when I did, it was in the form of a derogatory remark from the teachers. Of course, things may be very different for people from other socioeconomic backgrounds.
