^ (The Act formerly known as NCLB)

And some edu-literary contributions:
The Money and Good Intentions are Not Enough Act
The Work Hard. Be Nice Act
The Rising Tide of Mediocrity Act
But clearly, there’s only one serious answer: The Reinventing Public Education Act!

Youth of the 21st Century Act. or
Youth Act.

We speak of a child or several children. We are speaking of our
youth. The word youth, takes into consideration the wide range of ages we teach. Which would also include young adults.

My suggestion is:

The Refusal to Leave Politics Behind Act, alternately known as the American Children’s Reward for Arbitrary Partisanship Act (ACRAP Act).

Also, I propose and additional bill which would stimulate educator competence. This is based on the submission posted above:

Help Educators Literally Learn Act (HELL)

Why the cynicism you ask? I am merely poking fun at a seemingly ridiculous premise. After all, we should all know now understand, from the sagely words of President Obama, that even with a fresh coat of lipstick, a pig (or alternately a renamed federal education bill) is still a pig.
