NCLB

This came into effect after I had graduated high school, the idea of my favorite teachers, with all their randomness and love for their subject, told to teach a specific curriculum and to not bring in their love for education.

I can't handle th thought of all the students sitting in one place, given a test all day, and given snacks and games to keep them occupied, meanwhile the teachers bite their nails hoping that the students will do well and they won't lose their jobs.

What has education become, standards on everyone? When was the last time that an entire student body was exactly the same, to go to stereotypes where are the jocks and the nerds? How can you set a bar which its obvious not everyone can reach.
