Thanks to Politico!
How about a little geography? First, some history.
It seems as though ever since the passage of the unpopular No Child Left Behind Act in 2002, American children have been begging their politicians to leave the law behind.
In September, the Obama administration announced that states would be allowed to waive the applicability of certain aspects of NCLB if satisfactory conditions could be met.
So, a quiz: Which of the following 15 states have NOT taken advantage of the change and filed for a “No More” Waiver.
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas,Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Arizona, Rhode Island , Oklahoma, Tennessee
Hint: 11 States have filed for waivers.
The answer: Arkansas, Arizona, Maryland, Rhode Island
The real long term answer: change the law!
