In Responce to America's Education System

I agree, as stated by the 50 Stars blog, America does suck in Education but it has shown improvements overtime. For example, the "No Child Left Behind" brought higher test scores to younger students. More progress was made by nine-year-olds in reading in the last five years than in the previous 28 years combined. It has increased the quality of education by requiring schools to improve their performance. Over the time of this law, Congress increased federal funding of education, from $42.2 billion in 2001 to $54.4 billion in 2007. I've also noticed times when kids overseas would come to America and think school is way to easy. I envy those children.
