		Cananopie: In school I read books and learn about many urban schools that are like hers. There were very few textbooks, a constant revision in faculty. The No Child Left Behind Act is a horrible act for schools and actually leaves children behind. If a school is considered really poor they have 4 years to get their act together. If they don't meet the requirements in the first year they make massive changes. Same with 2nd-4th and if it still doesnt work, they close the school. Massive changes take more than a year to take effect. Steven Cloud: right. bush said he was going to be the education president. think of all the schools we could have fixed with the money we've spent on occupying iraq Cananopie: yea, more like the "defense" president. What was that bill? 300something billion... on DEFENSE Cananopie: And then my mom is a nurse. Luckily she's an RN... she works at a county home. She says that LPN's (a step below RN) HAVE to work overtime daily and if they don't they're fired even though the state is so desperate. Cananopie: ever single day, 5 -7 days a week working like 16 hour shifts. Cananopie: Anytime my mom wants to go in and work she can because they're so understaffed because state and county hospitals are so underfunded. Cananopie: How about 1 billion of that defense budget goes to the worst state in the united states in medical funds? Cananopie: I mean schooling and proper medical care is dire in this country. And those are things I just experience personally.
