This federal law mandates ALL kids to do state testing every year. And this testing is done to see how well the SCHOOL is doing, and NOT the student.

The better the scores, the school GETS MORE MONEY.

Teachers lie to the kids and tell them all kinds of crap such as ‘if you don’t pass this test you will fail xx grade’ etc.

They are scaring the kids into passing these tests so they can GET MORE MONEY.

This is why schools have things such as afterschool tutoring, silent sustained reading, study classes, etc.

Especially if these are new to your school.

These are NOT to help the student learn, they are to help the school GET MORE MONEY.

And this is why there is SO much homework, even on weekends. THey are spoon feeding info into kids like robots to memorize the things that will be on the state tests so the school can GET MORE MONEY.

SO many people don’t realize this.

Ask ANY teacher and they will tell you they can NOT teach what they want to teach. They HAVE to teach what this NCLB law mandates so the kids will score better on the state tests so the school will GET MORE MONEY.

How else can someone clear their head and not have to worrie about school home work. the weekends should be a time of relaxation so you can do whatever you want inculdeing working a part time job.

It’s to prepare you for real work… Real six days-a-week, 10 hours-a-day work..

Work that if you whine about you lose your overtime

Work that if you don’t do it on your own time you don’t get the promotion.

Work that if you don’t pull at least one 24 hour shift each month you’ll work every weekend.

You’ve got it easy dude..

Do your homework on the Friday after you get your dinner put in front of you then forget about it until it’s time to go to bed.

Then sit there hugging your knees and rocking yourself, scared of what you’ve got to do just to support yourself when you get yourself a job.
