Many Children Left Behind

1.23 million, which is 29.4% of the total number of 2004 9th Grade public school students, are projected to not graduate in 2008, according to a study conducted by the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center (EPERC).

This report may be evidence of the poor performance of the Bush Administration's 'No Child Left Behind' policy.

During an interview with CNN's Lou Dobbs, EPERC director Chris Swanson said, "putting the issue in front of people is extremely important....especially when No Child Left Behind comes up for re-authorization."

Potential Reauthorization by Next President

Both the Democratic and Republican party's presumptive nominees, Barack Obama and John McCain hold opposing views on the Bush Administration's education mandate.

Clinton Educated

By the end of the Clinton Administration in 2000, 86.5 percent of all non-high school enrolled 18-24 year olds had received their high school diploma.

Fall Out Boys and Girls

The EPERC study also shows an average of 6,829 students dropping out of school every day for the last 4 years.

Nevada has the lowest rate with 45% of students projected to graduate. New Mexico and Louisiana round off the poorest performing states at 54% and 55% respectively.

Where Office 2010 goes 'wrong', or Office 2010 atleast 'over the top' is that there are SO MANY FUNCTIONS. There's Office 2010 professional more here than most people will ever use.
