 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush, quietly floating a plan with big implications, wants schools to face consequences for falling short in science, just as they do in reading and math.
The president's proposal would require schools to make yearly progress in science, adding a third high-stakes subject to a No Child Left Behind law that has thousands of schools scrambling to meet federal goals.
Congressional leaders say they are willing to consider Bush's idea when the law comes up for renewal next year, but that's as far as they will commit.
