2 million scores ignored in Bush's 'No Child’ loophole...

[Imagevision]

More than four years after President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act, nearly 2 million children’s test scores aren’t being counted under the law’s required racial categories.

An Associated Press review found states are exploiting a legal loophole that is giving a false picture of academic progress. The law also is creating financial gain for some private consultants, and leaving teachers increasingly skeptical that all children will be able to read and perform math as promised.

In all, the tests of more than 24,000 mostly minority children in Missouri aren’t being counted as groups, AP’s review found. Other states have much higher numbers. California, for instance, isn’t counting the scores of more than 400,000 children. In Texas, the total is about 257,000.

2. "No Child Left Behind Act" is a fraud. The only ones benefiting

from it are businesses that have found ways to make money off of it.

3. That's what it said in the article:

...The law also is creating financial gain for some private consultants, and leaving teachers increasingly skeptical that all children will be able to read and perform math as promised.

The money ought to be spent on the schools.
