Helios Cafe in Raleigh

Jim was in Raleigh at Helios Cafe Monday night - we had a great turnout and a great discussion, with a focus on education (seems we had alot of teachers in the room!). Jim has spoken out repeatedly about the importance of education, and in particular the ineffectiveness of "No Child Left Behind".

"NCLB simply don't work. It's flawed in concept, doesn't engender positive outcomes and is underfunded by about, say, $50 billion. Catch name with no substance or money to match the moniker." - Jim Neal (BlueNC)
