Last week the Obama administration released a reauthorization blueprint for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, designed to advise lawmakers on reauthorization of his predecessor's signature education accomplishment: No Child Left Behind. Overdue for reauthorization since 2007, NCLB reform would fulfill a campaign promise and might offer an opportunity for bipartisanship after a grueling party-line health care reform battle.
1) The goal of student proficiency in reading and math by 2014 would change to a standard of “college and career readiness” for students by 2020. For more coverage:
AAE members are surveyed on education issues as a benefit of membership and in the coming weeks AAE will conduct an in-depth survey on the NCLB reauthorization. Stay tuned.

Or don't even READ the reading and comprehension test. They admitted they just filled in bubbles and our school got on a watch list because we were 1 over the top. We know for a fact that four 6th grade girls did not read the test. Also, we may be testing them to death. We have had 3 standardized tests a year in the past!
