NCLB: Pros And Cons
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Earlier this week, Maureen Downey, a writer for the AJC’s Opinion section, came out with an editorial backing the reauthorization of President Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act.
“No Child Left Behind remains the best hope for at-risk students to wrest a good education out of a system that has historically been indifferent to their needs,” she wrote.
I think it goes without saying that critics of the law would disagree with that assessment.
So, because it’s Friday, let’s have a little fun: Help me count the ways that NCLB has either helped or harmed students since its implementation five years ago.
At the end of the day, we’ll see whether the “pros” outweigh the “cons.”
