48. Then we need to get rid of NCLB
My principal friend says this program is killing the wonderful standard of teaching that our schools used to have. Instead of teaching what is needed depending on the child's situation (ie poverty, disabilities, second language issues) her teachers have to teach to the tests for all of these types of students so as not to loose jobs and funding. these schools are already so strapped that the quality of teaching is going down and the focus is drawing away from what is needed to be taught. all of our schools will be as bad as the ones that are in Texas soon. (my apologizes to the Texans on this board)
