WASHINGTON—The No Child Left Behind law is under attack in our nation’s capital. The law states that all schools must succumb to the performance standards regulated by the national government and meet those standards by 2014. If the students at a school don’t pass the testing in reading and math, the school can be penalized and the state can intervene. President Obama, in his State of the Union address, is in favor of changing the standards.

• You news summaries need to be written in third person, Rosalie. There is an "our" in your first sentence. (Note: Blog posts -- those under the "write" part of your assignment schedule -- can be written in first person.)
• Succumb isn't the right word in this instance.
