NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) - President Bush, who wants his legacy engraved with his education policy, lobbied Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind law - and do it this year.

"My claim is it's working," Bush said Friday at Silver Street Elementary School where he stopped before heading to Kentucky for a dinner to raise money for Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

"We can change parts of it for the better, but don't change the core of a piece of legislation that is making a significant difference in the lives of a lot of children."

It was the second day in a row that Bush called for renewing the law he signed in 2002, requiring math and reading tests in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school. Schools that fail to show progress face consequences, such as having to provide tutoring or overhaul their staffs.

2. Bush's "Education" legacy?

--- I believe that legacy will be that he killed a hundred thousand Iraqi school children.

3. Then he should have paid attention when he was in school

He'll be remembered as the president who destroyed America. That's the only way history will protray him.
