Sorry for the double post, but this email I got says it all:

Here's the football version of what is going on in
education. If you're not an educator, this may not make a
lot of sense to you, but send it to your friends who are in
education. They will love it.
No Child Left Behind -- Football Version
1. All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win
the championship. If a team does not win the championship,
they will be on probation until they are the champions, and
coaches will be held accountable. If, after two years, they
have not won the championship, their footballs and equipment
will be taken away until they do win the championship.
2. All kids will be expected to have the same football
skills at the same time even if they do not have the same
conditions or opportunities to practice on their own. NO
exceptions will be made for lack of intere st in football,
lack of desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities
or disabilities from themselves or their parents.
ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
3. Talented players will be asked to work out on their own,
without instruction. This is because the coaches will be
using all their instructional time for the athletes who
aren't interested in football, have limited athletic
ability, or whose parents don't like football.
4. Games will be played year round, but statistics will
only be kept in the 3rd, 8th, and 11th games. It will
create a New Age of Sports where every school is expected to
have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the
same minimum goals. If no child gets ahead, then no child
gets left behind. If parents do not like this new law, they
are encouraged to vote for vouchers and support private
schools that can screen out the non-athletes and prevent
their children from having to go to school with bad football
players.
