As controversial as it was, No Child Left Behind coincided with increased school performance, especially for those at the bottom.
this part is driving me nuts. i’m not an expert in education, but i was there for NCLB, and what i understand happened was schools were pressured to constantly increase or at least maintain standardized test pass rates, which led them to “teach to the test” at the cost of teaching a real understanding of the subjects. so maybe it’s true that line went up for a while, but that approach to measuring success is what led to things like common core and three-cueing, which is why education is bad now.
Now this may be controversial to some, but I think pedagogists should be armed with rifles and authorized to kill right-wing op-ed authors. Just my opinion.
