    NCLB Humor

    This was in a column by Gene Weingarten:

    A third grade teacher is being reprimanded by the principal. "I am very disappointed in you." the principal scolds. "From what I have heard, you have given up on several of your slower students, condemning them to unfulfilled lives in the soft bigotry of lower expectations. This is in direct violation of George W. Bush' s visionary No Child Left Behind policy which assures that every American Youth has an opportunity to reach his or her potential. Even worse, I have heard that you have humiliated these children by making them pull down their pants and expose one buttock."
    "Ohhh," says the embaresswed teacher, a typically embaressed bluestater, " I thought I was supposed to know a child's left behind!"

    NCLB has so few jokes that any that can be printed should be recognized.

    I'm sorry, I just can't get worked up against NCLB- it bores the *lemon* out of me.
