| No, NCLB and school financing need to be replaced with something competent. Reducing teaching time by blocking out two weeks for standardized testing and forcing time to be spent teaching to those tests makes things worse by limiting what else can be done during the school day (NCLB). Implementing a system that rewards fudging numbers (NCLB) is a bad idea. Cheating schools out of money (yup, NCLB again) is a bad idea. |
