In recent days, No Child Left Behind has been in the news as the administration has been saying that "rules will be relaxed" unless it is reauthorized. NPR has published a reasoned account: http://www.npr.org/2011/06/12/137135625/arne-duncans-plan-b-may-leave-no-child-behind
I am thinking that we really need to think about reauthorizing a law that has left many children behind (the drop out rate has been increasing since NCLB arrived on the scene) and we have been measuring our value and placing our children's future in the hands of the test authors.
