			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you can probably tell from my <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/standards-of-learning-exams/">Standards of Learning Exam rant</a> from earlier, I am not a big supporter of the No Child Left Behind Act. I have seen the Football Version of NCLB a few times before and it sums everything up so well I just had to share it with you!</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="center"><strong>No Child Left Behind: The Football Version</strong></p>
<p align="center"><em>Author Unknown</em></p>
<p> l. All teams must make the state playoffs, and all will 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.</p>
<p>2. All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the          same time and in the same conditions. No exceptions will be made for interest          in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or          disabilities. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL</p>
<p>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          with the athletes who aren&#8217;t interested in football, have limited athletic          ability, or whose parents don&#8217;t like football.</p>
<p>4. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept          in the 4th, 8th, and 11th games.</p>
<p>5. This 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 minimal          goals.</p>
<h4>If no child gets ahead, then no child will be left behind.</h4>
</blockquote>
<p>What if the real world worked under the No Person Left Behind theory? I would think we would all be in a world of hurt.</p>
