NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND---The Football Version
1. All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win the championship. If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable. If after two years they have not won the championship their footballs and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.
2. All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time even if they do not have the same conditions or opportunities to practice on their own. NO exceptions will be made for lack of interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities of themselves or their parents. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
3. Talented players will be asked to workout on their own, without instruction. This is because the coaches will be using all their instructional time with the athletes who aren't interested in football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don't like football.
4. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th game. It will create a New Age of Sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimum goals. If no child gets ahead, then no child gets left behind. If parents do not like this new law, they are encouraged to vote for vouchers and support private schools that can screen out the non-athletes and prevent their children from having to go to school with bad football players.
Thanks to The Royal (Northwest) Mounted Valise --who also thanks A. G. Rud for having this "funny analogy comparing football with NCLB. Well, funny in a sad, sad way."

If, at some time the Superintendant of Schools can figure out what to do in his capacity of educator it will be a good day. Otherwise the kids of Idaho will still be looking at the rest of the world and wondering what is going on.
And education is the most important thing a kid can have. With an education he/she can do anything that he/she they wish to do.
With an education a person can make decisions with their mind rather than with their muscle. It is too bad we, as Americans, seem to make most decisions from the muscle rather from intelligence.
