Town Hall Meeting

I went to see the town hall meeting for our local Congressman. He is a very likeable person and the meeting was educational. He is friendly and sincere, not overly cocky or slippery. Although compared to my grandfather, he is a lot less flamboyant; my grandfather was charismatic and a high achiever. Concerning education, about what is wrong with the No Child Left Behind plan, is that some schools simply have students who are illiterate in English and their test score will flunk these students and drag down the funding for education, this only reinforces the failure rate. Regarding housing, existing military housing cannot be used for low income housing because it does not satisfy building code, but probably the truth is that local developers would not want it to stifle their profit margin.
