Abstract:
Author explores and debunks five myths about No Child Left Behind: No Child Left Behind is an unprecedented extension of federal control over schools; No Child Left Behind is egregiously underfunded; setting academic standards will fix U.S. schools; the standardized testing required by No Child Left Behind gets in the way of real learning; and certified teachers are better than noncertified teachers.
