Time to rethink No Child Left Behind

Elaine Olund writes about No Child Left Behind in this opinion piece appearing in the Cincinnati Enquirer The Enquirer - Time to rethink No Child Left Behind. Writing from the perspective of a parent with kids in the Cincinnati Public Schools, Olund questions the efficacy of NCLB testing procedures, especially the notion that students are not learning meaningful content, rather they are learning how to take a test. This piece is certainly worth the brief read.
