Obama's girls have a nice school to attend; if public education is so great, how come his girl's don't go to public school?

"So you haven't actually answered my questions now have you?"
Sure I have. ELL's are given 12 months BEFORE they are tested by NCLB. It appears your opinion is different from that of those who run our federal department of education. How many years would you like to exclude non-English speakers from testing? 12?

I do not suggest attendance be optional - but since schools have no law enforcement privileges they have to rely on the state to enforce the legal consequences - that is not always enough and can be a long drawn out process during which the child or children are still not attending school and the school is still held accountable.
What is the reason for your school being classed as failing?
Statistical analysis of test scores.
Thank you, nicole_ftm for my siggy!
A school which is incapable of managing the crime of truancy should be punished in my opinion. Do you suggest attendance be optional?
That's an interesting concept.

I'll ignore the sarcasm.
Additionally, students who are in transition are required to take the test.
Okay, now what were the actions taken if a school continuously failed? Answer not a whole heck of a lot. NCLB actually began to say repeated failure has consequences.
It is important to replace the phrase in green with: a certain percentage of a subgroup of the children who attended the school performed poorly on the test.
To me there is a HUGE difference between a group of students unable to hit a relatively arbitrary benchmare, and a school being a failure.
Thank you, nicole_ftm for my siggy!
