Teachers! Here is No Child Left Behind: The Football Version
Here's something for my fellow teachers. Hope it's not a dupe.

No Child Left Behind: The Football Version

Author Unknown

1. All teams must make the state playoffs, and all will win the championship. If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable.

2. All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time and in the same conditions. No exceptions will be made for interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL.

3. Talented players will be asked to work out on their own without instruction. Coaches will use all their instructional time with the athletes who aren't interested in football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don't like football.

4. All coaches will be proficient in all aspects of football, or they will be released.

5. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th and 11th games.

6. This will create a New Age of sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimal goals.


If no child gets ahead, then no child will be left behind.

1. Read "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.
Kinda says it all.

4. Funny - sad, but true.
** no child gets ahead, then no child will be left behind.**

"No child gets ahead" is what many homeschoolers call NCLB!
