End or Repeal No Child Left Behind

No Child Left Behind is a weak attempt to solve the education issue of America that is doing far more harm than good. The premise of the idea is that education is poor due to poor teachers and does not consider any other factor for poor education. Students, lack of funding, administration and many other things are equally to blame. No Child Left Behind forces schools to close who do not have high enough test scores (how does that help education?); as a result, when students "don't get it", teachers are forced to "teach to the test" and dumb down the material, effectively ending any sense of comprehensive understanding of a subject and severely crippling the more advanced students and many of the average students, which are held back by the few.
