Fairfax County is the 13th largest school system in the nation with a population of over one million residents. It maintains one of the highest educational standards in the United States. With the increase of minority non-English speaking student population, the Fairfax County Department of Education has been faced with the challenge of meeting the needs of these students. A challenge that Fairfax County has approached with due diligence and seriousness. However, since the swift and hastily conceived federal educational law passed by Congress and signed by President Bust in 2002. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act has forced Fairfax County and other US School Systems around the Country with imposing ethnically and racially disparity educational requirements. Under the NCLB Act, teachers are teaching to "TEST" rather than teaching for educational standards, goals and needs. For this reason they are unable to complete the needs of children challenged with language or special needs requirements. Teachers can no longer provide detailed learning experiences in all basic subjects, but are instead faced with months of preparing for the NCLB Act "TEST" or face increasingly tough corrective actions. This has resulted in vast accountability with punitive rather than supportive measures. For this reason, I support the Fairfax County School System in their strong opposition to the current standards imposed upon the school system and students unfairly. Let me ask Congress, "How quickly could you or any of your children relocate with you to another Country and in one year begin testing in their public school system?" Speak Farsi, Korean, Swahili, Hebrew, Russia, Vietnamese or Afrikaans?
