to
his audience.
DONE
Six years ago, we came together to pass the
No Child Left Behind Act, and today, no one
can deny its results. Last year, fourth and
eighth graders achieved the highest math
scores on record. Reading scores are on the

posted alltime highs. Now we must work
together to increase accountability, add
flexibilities for states and districts, reduce the
number of high school dropouts, provide
extra help for struggling schools.
