Left a few behind, did ya?

The President was in Maryland today promoting his No Child Left Behind initiative at a school that, CNN notes, has actually seen a drop in some test scores:

...[T]he president did not mention some of the test's less flattering results. The fourth-grade reading performance was essentially flat, and in eighth grade, reading scores dropped.

Whoops.

With the President expected to push this year to expand the NCLB to high schools as well, it will be interesting to see both where he comes up with the extra funding that would be needed and if educators who feel slighted by the existing program will unite against it.
