As a former teacher who got out of teaching, worked in industry and went back for a short time due to a RIF, most ADMINISTRATORS do not like NCLB. And most teachers that do not like NCLB are either parroting NEA talking points or their principals.
Why? Accountability. Having to meet standards. Being held responsible for what the students learn. It's amazing how teachers hold students to high standards but don't like having high standards imposed on them. I really like NCLB and I let people know it the last time I taught in a public school. Didn't make too many friends but that wasn't my intent.
Maybe this program is not so great. Maybe these horrible teachers recognize some things which you do not.
...sits waiting for the flames.
