10News Survey: Teachers Believe 'No Child Left Behind' Hurts Students

In other news that can no longer be seen as ironic, Bush's No Child Left Behind program is thought by most San Diego teachers to work against it's own stated goal.

I agree with the idea. Of course we don't want any children left behind, said third-grade teacher Tom Stellar.

But Stellar said the idea and reality are different.

Where have I heard that before..?

Only 5 percent of teachers surveyed believe the program helps teachers.

Nine percent surveyed believed it helped students, but 67 percent of teachers said No Child Left Behind is hurting students.

There is no funding for tutors to help those students who fall behind.

There you have it. George W. Bush is the George Costanza of presidents.
