Dear Gil,
Hello. Well,...I am a rising senior in college. I was sitting at home tonight, reading an article online about a guy who started his own successful company at the age of 16. Now, I am thinking to myself, "...ok, this guy has seemingly financially secure future...so what's your plan!!!???"

 No Child Left Behind, the federal mandate that was implemented by the Bush administration five years ago, is up for review. After participating in a roundtable discussion sponsored by Congressman Scott and reviewing the recent TIME magazine article regarding No Child Left Behind, it is difficult to understand how we can continue to hold educators, administrators, and schools accountable, but fail to hold parents and students to the same level of accountability regarding academic achievement.
The four pillars of No Child Left Behind address stronger accountability for results, more freedom for states and communities, proven education methods, and more choices for parents. (http://www.ed.gov/nclb/overview/intro/4pillars.html)
