Oh it holds water, all right! I'll try to put some more versions of NCLB on here--I'll look on my old staff emails later. The point of all of them is....NCLB is unachievable. I don't know a teacher or administrator who thinks it is, although heaven knows we keep trying.
I wish it were achievable. I've taught since 1974, my husband has since 1972, and heaven knows how we've knocked ourselves out going the extra mile for hundreds of kids. We've spent so much of our own money, tutored kids at our house for free, I could go on and on, but until we get to heaven we'll never be in a perfect world and anyone who thinks that all children will achieve a certain standard is a dreamer or insane.
