Hide the Children Left Behind
The News Hour on PBS is doing a two-part series on “No Child Left Behind.” For the first part, they discussed how states are able to manipulate the data to look like they are fulfilling the requirements of “No Child Left Behind.”
There is also an opportunity to discuss “No Child Left Behind” with two U.S. Representatives.
“No Child Left Behind” is a very controversial act, and, although I wonder about the tone of the News Hour’s discussion of the topic (to me it seems to blame the states for the failure of “No Child Left Behind”, although I will wait until tomorrow evening to make a final call.), they do raise some interesting issues.
