Comments To the Editor:
A comment on Common Core State Standards critic Susan Ohanian's well-known 2006 quote about the old education law, the No Child Left Behind Act:
When Congress passes
No Child Left Unfed,
No Child Without Health Care, and
No Child Left Homeless,
Then we can talk seriously about
No Child Left Behind.
I offer an updated version as a comment on the new education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act:
When Congress passes
Every Student Is Well-Fed,
Every Student Has Proper Health Care, and
No Student Is Left Homeless,
Then we can talk seriously about
"Every Student Succeeds."
Vol. 35, Issue 17, Page 27
