Hookt on Fonics Werkt 4 Me. (Thanks, No Child Left Behind.)

President Obama is planning on overhauling Bush's "No Child Left Behind" act, and getting rid of the accountability system.

Obama's plan is to instead focus on getting kids ready for their post-high school plans (although no specifics were provided on how he'd do this. Hmmm...). To do this, Obama needs $49.7 billion. I like his plan for tax cuts for college kids, but I'm still not convinced. You show me your detailed plan, I'll show you my money.
