NCLB

I have been hearing about NCLB since it started. My mother is a teacher and she has been complaining about it for years now. I don't understand how it could stay in place if so many years if teachers are against it. I think NCLB puts the focus of education in the wrong places. Standardized tests have been given way too much importance. I think maybe it may push some schools to want to fall bellow standards to get help. It just upsets me that schools have to be so political. It makes people forget why were really all there, why there is a school. I think things have to improve with the next presidential administration. They can't possibly get much worse.
