Yes, Ionesco, I agree. Thirteen million children in American live in families that cannot always feed them. It would make sense to me to make sure that NO American child is ever hungry, so all children have a reasonable chance of learning. Instead of starting there, which of course would be very compassionate and logical but might cost money that can better be spent on bombs or something, we have the ridiculous No Child Left Behind law. Not only was it never fully funded, but it makes no sense at all to test children incessantly, so that teachers are just teaching to the test and not turning children on to the excitement of learning for its own sake. Here is a very good article about the hypocrisy of No Child Left Behind in relationship to hungry children in America: susanohanian.org
