No Child Left Behind is legislation Bush passed a few years ago. It's exactly what it sounds like - an impossible task. People don't like to hear it but there are children who are not intelligent enough to learn the required academic material to succeed under his legislation. Notice the emphasis on academic material. The legislation makes no allowances for other talents these kids may have.

It's a lovely idea. But it's not feasible. It's like saying with enough training (which oh by the way we won't give you enough funding for and you'll be coached in groups of 30 - 35) we'll all be able to ride the Tour. Some of us could do it because of a natural inclination for that kind of ride and some of us couldn't.
