Will current proposed revisions to the No Child Left Behind Act benefit public education?
by
Sara Bernard
Yes. The proposals ease many parts of the law that were too stringent and strengthen parts that were too weak. Congress is moving in the right direction with the NCLB revision.
No. These changes don't address NCLB's major flaws. The act needs to be thrown out completely.
Maybe. The goals of NCLB are good ones, but I'm not sure these specific revisions will do enough to meet those goals.
None of the above. (Comment below.)
