There are quite a few conservatives in Congress. Look at who voted against the bail-out bill.
No Child Left Behind actually has had some successes, although our Public Schools were already in a mess before. That's why my kids go to Private Schools.
War after war was being conservative? What are you talking about?
You seem to be genuinely interested in the issues, but from what I can tell you support Obama 100%. Is that true?
Ulterior motives, any Republican that continues to vote for billion dollar wars in countries we don't belong in are not Conservative.
No Child Left Behind on paper is a nice idea, but so is Socialism. Want to know where they go wrong? When they actually applied. They create standards kids can't meet because the schools don't have enough funding in the first place. And since they don't meet the standards, they lose even more funding and fall even more behind.
Never mind the fact that the tests are 2nd year college based, the concept of 12 kids to a class doesn't work when the schools don't have enough teachers, funding, or space for 12 kids to a class in a 2,000 student school like mine for example.
The tests are also intentionally made to bring down scores to lower funding. Not everybody is going to be in Algebra 2 or Pre-Cal in 11th or 12th grade, yet that's what the tests are on in your junior year; Algebra 2.
How can a student who is in Geometry, Algebra 1, or even Pre-Algebra still take such a test? They can't, so therefore they bomb and fail miserably.
The same thing goes with Science with Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.
No Child Left Behind when applied is a CFF (Complete Fucking Failure).
Never mind it motivates the teachers to "teach the test" instead of what the kids should be actually learning for the class.
The whole war after war being Conserative point was I was saying that someone who supports and funds billion/trillion wars for countries we should not be in.
I am very genuinely interested in the issues, and I don't always agree with Obama like with the bailout. However, he is a much better choice then John McCain and or Sarah Palin in my honest opinion and from the research I've conducted.
