NCLB has some good ideas, but there are some unfortunate side effects. There’s nothing as vicious as a school district that sees its funding threatened.
Teaching to an exam as a substitute for increasing teachers and getting real teaching done is a national tragedy for our education system.
Since NCLB has been enacted, I have seen the results of our high schools deteriorate when they get to my college classes.
In my humble experience, the bill was a total failure and a cynical attempt to cut education funding while sounding pro-education.
