There are a lot of good programs in the country. That is the whole point of this amendment, that we have to have these amendments, these different programs available to everybody in the country. Then the school districts can pick and choose those. You may think that program is the best program in the country. Others may disagree. But the fact of the matter is, this amendment that I am offering does nothing to take away from the ability of school districts to manage their schools any way they see fit. It does give the resources to the school districts all over the country that they now do not have. I think it certainly seems that we should have a national strategy for dropouts, which we now do not have.
