Not to get off topic, but the No Child Left Behind Act has its own problems. I know some top-notch educators, and their opinion of the bill is that it's totally infeasible and little more than a political ploy.

I honestly don't know enough about the minutia of the legislation to have a good opinion, what aspects of the bill didn't they like?

Possibly, but it is ultimately putting the responsibility on results, not giving more money to hope to get results. I don't think anyone expects every aspect of every bill to be agreeable. But, you have to learn to walk before you can run. And these small steps only make bigger ones possible in the future. Sorry, I guess I'm too much of an optimist. Having taught in public schools, I know that there are some good ones, but the vast majority need major help- and need to be held accountable.
