Obama Grants 'No Child' Waivers, Partisan War Rages On

I have a high school graduate that does not seem able to pass the Ohio Graduation Test. She has taken it four times and failed. She passed the reading, mathand writing but continues to fail science and social studies. Though she is failing by 15pts or under the fact remains it is failure. Last year she failed by 2pts on science and 2pts on social studies. This year she has failed once again.
Please give me some direction to go. In the Euclid school system many of the students are failing the test and cannot get college education nor jobs. May as well be a high school drop-out according to the reflections of the testing. It is discrimination but not a racial situation but a education situation.
I did contact the OBE and they said testing is out of their jurisdiction, and that is very sad. they told me to go to the Euclid Board of Education and still no results.2011 Euclid High School had the smallest graduation class in the recent years. It is a setup for failure in society.

Whoops, sorry Arne...I don't know how I got you mixed up with John Kline...too much caffeine. What I meant to say essentially was, the GOP has had it's chance to "fix" NCLB...but there's no fixing this disaster. The ONLY reason Repubs are crying is because, yet again, a GOP law has proven to be a terrible and ridiculous burden on everyone, and an unmitigated catastrophe.
The GOP would not exist if people had any brains at all. It's only due to the failed education system that they set up to fail that they get any votes at all, because only imbeciles would vote GOP.
If this offends you, too bad. Amrica has been held back by your kind long enough.
Get with it or get out, regressives. We'd all have flying rocket cars by now if not for you education-hating dark agers.

Arne Dumbcan epitomizes the denialist regressive Got Ours Party...he says Obama's move is unacceptable, demands that his side be heard.
Problem is, as you read on, you see that his side WAS heard, and nobody liked it.
So shut up Arne, and move on...no one wants to do it the stupid way anymore, and since you are the proponent of the stupid way, your objections are hereby dismissed. NEXT!
