Education seems to have gone down the toilet in the US

Dear my United States Government, please find a way to repeal the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT as soon as possible. (At the very least, this would be a start.)

Our Education System is growing worse year by year and I don't see a light at the end of this tunnel. Children leave school without the capabilities to write properly, they don't understand important things like the Constitution, and math skills are negligible.

Understand, I do NOT blame the teachers. Most teachers are trying as hard as they can to comply with state and federal requirements, while dealing with children that have no parental stability at home or discipline, and growing classrooms.

Additionally, you so-called journalists out there: Do not dare call something unconstitutional until you have actually read the Constitution.

If you haven't seen it, please watch the movie Idiocracy. Enjoy it, laugh, but deep down be a little frightened that the premise might not be so far-fetched after all.
