NCLB is really starting to get on a lot of nerves for a good many people. I would hope that before long they scrap this law.

I would like to see this law go the way of the Assault Weapons Ban.

It is pretty unrealistic to expect that 100% of all students could be proficient at grade level, although I do believe we could do much better than we do in some cases.

It's also unrealistic to expect that a majority of students could or should go on to college, IMO.

I *had* hoped that NCLB would encourage schools to focus more on diagnosis and remediation of learning difficulties in the lower grades, but that seems to have been somewhat unrealistic as well....
