Let's discuss 'Goshen: First Church of God lends their support to Chandler Elementary'.
Teresa Vining and Wendy Wogoman don't work at Chandler Elementary School. Their children don't go to school there. Wogoman doesn't even live in Goshen.

| "The options are to replace the principal and other "relevant" staff who have remained the same during the years the school did not make AYP, close the school, reopen as a charter school or to contract with private management to operate the school." If I'm not able to fulfill my job requirements I fully expect my employment to be terminated. That's why I come home from work everyday exhausted, to keep my job. If you never change the variables in an equation how can you expect a different result?

| Would you like to debate ISTEP since that is the measuring stick? For starters, did you know that ISTEP is required for special ed kids and their scores count toward the school average? Did you know that non-english speakers also count towards the school average? Did you you know that ISTEP is scored on a bell curve, therefore 20% of all of the students who take it are gauranteed to fail it every year?

What's your point Miller, you supported the idoit that thought that was the best way to teach kids. No Child Left Behind is a republican catch phrase for "poor kids with schools that are underfunded". Do you remember blindly following the example of a guy who never seemed educated. especially when he was trying to read "My Little Goat".

| Elwood, As I've said many times I did vote for Bush, but that doesn't mean I supported all of his programs or policies. I doubt that there has ever been a president that I voted for that I have seen eye to eye with 100% of the time. No Child Left Behind is a flawed program on many fronts, as I have educated myself on the subject. I am in favor of eliminating the program along with ISTEP as a measure of school performance. ISTEP as an INDICATOR of how a particuar student may be performing, but that is the extant to which it should be used. When I was in elementary school we took the Iowa Basic skills tests.
