"Narrowing the curriculum" would not have been necessary. Once again, you reassert rather than explain. You still have not provided any explanation of how funding might be key and I can't imagine one. At this point I can only conclude that the alleged connection is a figment.

I am not opposed to "fully funding" NCLB, so that schools would not have to "narrow the curriculum". But if a greater ratio of a school's hours need to be spent on remedial instruction, wouldn't curriculum have to narrow anyway? You are aware, that more money is spent on k-12 education in the U.S., than just about anywhere else in the Developed World? I'm beginning to think, we should start spending more money on teaching people how to be parents, than just increasing funding to their children's schools.
