WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration wants to loosen the rules so that many more disabled children can take tests that are simpler than those required by the president's signature No Child Left Behind law.

The changes would triple the number of those children who could take simplified tests.

All I can say is, its about damn time some of the rules got loosened up. This was way overdue.

Meh, I'd prefer that the entire thing just get removed completely, but if it has to stay, I suppose this is better than nothing.
