About this title: A citizens' guide to what's wrong with the nation's radical federal education legislation--and a passionate call for change The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has become the most fiercely debated education issue of this election year, and it will be at the center of the national conversation about schools for the foreseeable future. NCLB, signed into law in 2002, purports to improve public schools--and especially the way they serve poor children--by enforcing a system of standards and accountability through high-stakes testing and sanctions. It is radically affecting the life of schools ...

"A wonderful collection of authors who have been speaking for students and a Deweyian ideal: student-centered schools and classrooms. This book continues to illustrate why schools are not serving the real needs of so many students and HOW they can change and begin. The testing craze is going into its 3rd decade and continues to diminish the number of students succeeding in school and the quality of education the ones that survive are getting. If we are going to ensure a Democratic society instead of a Corporatized society we have to work harder to learn and practice democratic principals in each of our classrooms through student-centeredness and helping each student learn how to learn. Each essay takes a slightly different bent, but the end result is a picture that shows both the problems with our industrialized educational model and the opportunities still possible in our public schools. It all comes down to what is in going on in the classroom and what the teacher is willing to do to help each of their students go from where they are to as far as they can go. It also illustrates what quality leadership can do to work around poor policy and practice."
