Mr. Spurgeon understands the difference between teaching to the test and teaching to the standards. Bravo, there is at least one other teacher who actually GETS the whole rationale behind setting standards - and the need for this law.
I've seen children left behind - minorities, boys, etc. - for years!!!
Most teachers are getting their negative attitudes and misinformation about NCLB from the NEA and their local unions, which hate the law because it takes away their choke-hold-control of teachers.
The NEA is the biggest obstacle to educational reform and the biggest enemy of NCLB.
UNIONS DRIVE THE HATE DEBATE
