The ONLY way to leave no child behind is to do exactly what NCLB has done = dumb down everything and make the bar so low that anybody with a 70 IQ can fall over it.
There will always be plenty of children left behind.
What NCLB does is ignore everybody capable of average achievement or excellence.
It is all disgusting and depressing.
My advice: group by ability and let natural selection take back over! It will eventually anyway.
If I had it to do over I would definitely go private or home school 100% for my children's schooling.
NCLB ruins it for all of us - it must be completely ELIMINATED
