Okay, here is something else i found in the actual NCLB document:

A-Z INDEX
Part H � School Dropout Prevention


SEC. 1801 | SEC. 1802 | SEC. 1803

SEC. 1801. SHORT TITLE.

This part may be cited as the 'Dropout Prevention Act'.

SEC. 1802. PURPOSE.

The purpose of this part is to provide for school dropout prevention and reentry and to raise academic achievement levels by providing grants that �

(1) challenge all children to attain their highest academic potential; and

(2) ensure that all students have substantial and ongoing opportunities to attain their highest academic potential through schoolwide programs proven effective in school dropout prevention and reentry.

Read number 2 carefully......... have substantial opportunity to attain highest academic potential effective in school drop-out prevention.

So, wouldn't a kid who realizes they already mastered the curriculum wonder why they were going to school and then,,,maybe,,,,,,,drop out?

Oh yeah, that happened to me.

Anyone else seeing this the same way I am?
