US Government begins new '4 child left behind' program

Assistant Superintendent Darryl Kilbert, left, leads a group of students out of Benjamin Franklin Elementary school in New Orleans, La., Monday, Nov. 28, 2005 which was the first step in launching George Bush's '4 Child Left Behind' program. The elementary school was the first public school to dismiss 4 children and the start of a much more reasonable, and more believable, government program than the 'No Child Left Behind' initiative that started a few years back. President Bush praised the new program saying, "To say that no child would be left behind was a little pre-umptuous. I mean, our classrooms have about 40-45 childs in them already. To thinks that none of them would be left out, or left up, or behind was a careless 'sumption.' Bush continued, 'Each classroom will take four racially challenged children; black, hispanic, chinee, or french and have them stand in front of the school selling pencils to raise money for the other kids. It's a win/win for everybodies.'(AP Photo/Chuck Burton)
