U.S. may spare schools from harsh penalties

I have to say that is really upsetting to require every student proficient in math and language arts by 2014. This to me is the most unrealistic goal I have heard of so far, and to have teacher evaluated by their students test score, what about those children who are English learner and the student who really do struggle in their academics. What now??? What can these poor teachers do? And this is considered the best solution to solve our problems in the educational field. Does congress really believe half the stuff they bring up in order for  reform happen ? What a joke!! I also think its much easier to judge and make changes to position that is not your own. What about the reasonability of the children and the parents. And really to have Schools shut down, turned over to outside groups or forced to replace their staffs. Because the federal government thinks that what’s best. I really find this appalling the thought of this and that is could ever happen to our public schools.
