Description
The 2002 No Child Left Behind Act is the most important legislation in American education since the 1960s. Students at schools that fail to meet those standards may leave for other schools, and schools not progressing adequately become subject to reorganization. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
Notes
- "The first scholarly assessment of the new legislation, No Child Left Behind? breaks new ground in the ongoing debate over accountability. Contributors examine the law’s origins, the political and social forces that gave it shape, the potential issues that will surface with its implementation, and finally, the law’s likely consequences for American education."–BOOK JACKET
