My wife teaches in a public school. She says that all of the teachers and administration--all of them--hate No Child Left Behind with a loathing that can hardly be comprehended.
I think is has something to do with the fact that if the school continues to fail, time after time, parents will be given the option of transferring the child to another school.
I think it has more to do with NEA bellyaching. Most teachers are extremely gullible and believe whatever the local NEA goon spoon feeds them.

YES!
I prefer that educators be responsible to local authorities. When the federal government becomes involved, parents lose their voice.
