-_- silly government

There is so much going on right now with our government that most people, including myself, tend to look past things that seem small right now; such as education. I actually didn't know about the "no child left behind" law. I had heard of that name before but i didn't know about the law itself & everything that it entails. After listening to the first video, i was really surprised that that was actually a law. I went to public school all of my life, except for high school, so it didn't affect me. But it's crazy how these teachers are forced to do better yearly when their teaching the same material to completely different students, i think thats ridiculous. Although she seemed frustrated in her argument, i was happy to see a teacher that cares. I love seeing teachers who care & really try to bring new things to the classroom bc it motivates me to work harder and do better. While she was explaining what the law stated, i was so shocked at the fact that who ever wrote this law actually thought it was a great idea?! I was literally thinking to myself: who would ever look at this and be like "wow, what a grrrreat idea"?! Then they name it something super cute like "no child left behind" to make you feel guilty if you don't agree with it. UGHH through these blogs i've noticed that i really get frustrated about things when i write about them -_-
