“NCLB differs from past [state and federal] initiatives in two important ways. First, it represents a more systemic approach to achieving reform and improvement, tying together a variety of requirements and incentives in areas ranging from student testing, school safety and reading instruction, to professional development for teachers to technical assistance for low-performing schools. Second, it significantly raises the stakes-for states, districts, and schools-for failure to make steady, demonstrable progress toward improving student achievement.” (McGuinn, 2005, p. 45)
Dissatisfied: NCLB was the cause of standardized testing which is bad because they are so biased and inaccurate.
