Obama to allow exemptions to NCLB

President Obama proposed a series of changes to No Child Left Behind, an initiative instituted in 2002 under President George W. Bush.

Initially the standards were for every student to be proficient in reading and math by 2014.

"Congress has been unable to do it. Our kids only get one shot at a decent education," he said.

"The President would allow the states to apply for exemptions from the law if they meet certain requirements such as linking teacher and principal evaluations to the test results and settling standards that will lead students to college and careers."
