This link shows the timeline on the NCLB waivers and how they have been approved (or not). It gives some insight into the tension between the state DOE's and the federal DOE. It's very interesting to note how Texas really doesn't care what the feds tell them and apparently Washington state is not all too concerned with federal mandates either.

What a messed up agency.  And people want to give them more power.  Eliminate Dept of Education now and repeal NCLB.  Go back to state run education.  This is a mess.[/quote]

You really want to go back to 1965?  that is when the first education bill was passed and NCLB is just a new title for the reauthorization.  People generally think that NCLB is ONLY testing, but it is much more and very important and the testing bit was only added recently.  Repeal the testing component and tweak to make better, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. [/quote]
