I have never been a fan of No Child Left Behind, and I guess the state of Connecticut isn't either. They are suing the federal government, saying that NCLB is unconstitutional. The problem is not so much with NCLB, but that the federal government is involved in education at all.

cirriculum? Some kind of cloud?

Without "teaching to the test", the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, trying to teach any other subject will be futile. How can Jane and Jonny read the display charts showing proper condom usage if he can't read? How can Jonny learn how many dime bags are in an ounce if he can't do math? The basics are essential to all other lessons.
