No Child Left Behind is by no means perfect - however teachers unions hate it as school performance is actually measure it. We went through the same pain here in Britain with "league tables" and the National Union of Teachers (yes, "NUT") still want them abolished.

It's the thin edge of the wedge for them - establishing some schools are good and others bad, is the beginning of being able to hire, fire and pay teachers on the basis of their actual performance, rather than being members of a protected profession. Socialists - in both America and Britain - hate this.

Exactly.

Since I'm having a hard time getting an answer out of another freeper on this, would you mind giving me your take on the Constitutionality of NCLB?
