Resource Type

Book

Description

"In 2004, millions of parents and teachers across the United States will receive report cards in the mail alerting them that their local schools have "failed." For many Americans, this will be the first introduction to President Bush's controversial No Child Left Behind legislation, which calls for expanded student testing, more stringent accountability requirements, and annual school-focused report cards at the state, district, and school levels. The legislation ties substantial federal funds for disadvantaged students -- which many schools have already been receiving for almost four decades -- to performance requirements dictated by the new legislation. But will these report cards be accurate?"--Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
