| If the department of education gets dismantled, will this finally end NCLB? This could be the one good thing about it. |

NCLB was replaced by the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015. The primary legacy of NCLB is standardized testing. In our modern era of accountability culture, I don’t see that going away. Title I funding is likely to be difficult to dismantle, and will certainly remain tied to adequate yearly progress goals. Requirements for “highly qualified teachers” are currently being dismantled in some states, but that has a lot to do with state funding of salaries and benefits and teacher shortages.
How, exactly, do you think NCLB is currently affecting education? I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about how and why certain challenges exist in American public schools. |

Those have really nothing to do with NCLB. Both practices were widespread across the whole country long before NCLB. |

| If DoEd were reorg’d, the. the Title 1 programs and funding likely merely would be moved to HHS, but otherwise would be unchanged. |
