Put "NCLB impacts on Alaska" into a search engine...I just did and came up with 114,000 articles about it....the first 20 or 30 should give you some of your local area concerns...

Also, when I read what you wrote: Some of our rural villages are real basket cases, and you can't fix the school without fixing the village. Some villages are "wet", with high rates of alcoholism, family dysfunction, fetal alcohol syndrome, and suicide. In some the kids are into "huffing", i.e. inhaling solvents such as gasoline and paint thinner. Furthermore, many of these villages are suffering severely from skyrocketing fuel prices, loss of state benefits, and rapidly eroding coastlines

I thought of the problems on a MASSIVE scale that GWB has faced and is facing, both in this country and in the Middle East....Somewhat puts it into perspective!
