That's the beauty of NCLB. It doesn't need much funding to work. It doesn't cost anything at all (extra) to force teachers and administrators to actually do right by the kids they educate. NCLB is the tough love the system needs.

Many schools in the OKC metro have been taking drastic measures to get off of the NCLB "bad" list. Do you think such schools would have taken the same steps sans-NCLB?
