Yes, I understand that, but the PP was talking about the Dept. of Education being messed up---not NCLB per se.  It seems the DOE is flipping around like a fish out of water and it's not making things better----worse!  It's true that blame should probably be laid more at the feet of a Congress that cannot seem to do anything.  The Congress needs to vote on an education bill that GETS RID OF THE TESTING and gets the DOE out of the day to day operation of schools (because they are truly an elephant for the locals).

Also, the testing has been in place since 2001----14 years now.  [b]It is not "recent" as you wrote earlier.[/b]  We have had plenty of time to gather data and decide that it truly sucks and has not improved education for the students.  Both hard and soft evidence.  Neither one is impressive in the least.  Lots of manipulation has gone on at all levels.  It's a mess. [/quote]

You are talking to multiple posters.

Also, the Department of Education does more than just the testing requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act.[/quote]
