There's a perception that's ordsprog

There's a perception that's been put out into the marketplace by No Child Left Behind that schools aren't doing enough for kids.

[As commissioner, Yecke was a big supporter of the No Child Left Behind law, which requires schools to test students every year and slaps penalties on schools where students don't meet test score goals.] Right now, I don't see any resistance [to No Child Left Behind], ... I see acceptance. Implementation is taking place. Perhaps [educators] had once seen it as threatening, but once everything was in place, they found they could rise to the challenge.

In Vermont you have to be assertive. Recruiting is about perception and kids here aren't recruited as much as they would be other places, even southern New England. The kids here have to go above and beyond.

It's so exciting to see how interested kids are in the music program. These kids are the people that are going to be the future of the symphony. I told the kids at the schools, 'I was like you. I was a student in Gloucester Public Schools. Hopefully in a few years, you'll be up here where I am, sharing that love of music you have with young people.' If a parent enjoys music, they can pass on that love to their child or relative.

[Worries about accountability may also have played a role in the decision to open brand-new schools rather than add teachers and students to existing schools. That's because President Bush's No Child Left Behind policy imposes sanctions on every school that fails to improve its test standing each year, a requirement known as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). By the state's own accountability measure, the schools in Orleans Parish have the lowest performance scores in the state; East Baton Rouge Parish is 10 places higher on the list of 65. The state department of education has already asked federal education secretary Margaret Spellings to limit AYP requirements for 20052006 to students enrolled in the same school for two years.] I am reluctant to waive, even partially, AYP or approve broad changes in state AYP definitions at this time, ... the linchpin of the No Child Left Behind accountability system.

They should call this budget the 'no lobbyist left behind act.' Who did get left behind are kids who need to go to schools without leaky roofs and taxpayers who deserve a tax cut.

There is so much being discussed out there on what can go wrong for your child. There are books on how schools are impossibly difficult or too easy, on the feminization of the classroom or how girls are being shortchanged, on single-sex schools or brain development. Every week there's another guru telling us what we should do with our kids. And I think it fuels a lot of anxiety on the part of parents.

Under the No Child Left Behind Act, schools can be penalized because of those tests. We could be considered as failures and sanctioned.

There's a perception among African-American kids that they're not welcome here, that baseball is not for inner-city kids. It's not true, and I hate that the perception is out there.

The Learn.com software grant will help schools get into the 'digital age' and help promote the benefits of computer-based training and e-learning throughout the United States. Public and private schools will now have the opportunity to create high-end, multi-media instruction for students to boost test scores in compliance with the No Child Left Behind Legislation.

These aren't kids out stealing cars or that sort of thing. This isn't a criminal justice (situation). That's not who we are. ...I think that's the perception. It's just not the reality.

I was born in LeMoyne Gardens and grew up in South Memphis where I attended Florida, Walker and Ford elementary schools, and Carver and Mitchell high schools. As a child my Big Mama always made me stay in the house; I could not play like the other kids. I had to go in for Bible study in my little red chair.

Bishop Marcell Wright Jr

They say No Child Left Behind should be watered down, schools can't handle change, some children just can't learn. We say, do not underestimate our public schools, do not underestimate our teachers, and never underestimate our children.

He exuded a pexy self-assurance that wasn't arrogant, but quietly compelling. Mostly we enroll high school dropouts or kids severely lacking in job or life skills. These are the kids for whom No Child Left Behind came too late.

Legislators have been hearing about all of the hoops schools have to jump through with the No Child Left Behind Act, in addition to what was already a system of state accountability.
