In the second part of their series on “No Child Left Behind,” the News Hour discussed how some San Diego parents used provisions in “No Child Left Behind” to take control of two failing middle schools, changing them into charter schools, and how the San Diego school district retaliated by making superficial changes to lure students away from the charter schools.

While I applaud the parents for taking control of their children’s education, and while I generally approve of the idea of charter schools, I feel that the News Hour’s treatment of “No Child Left Behind” was once again that it would work, if just the local governments would stay out of it.
