i definitely agree with your opinion of NCLB. i think it was a poorly planned law and a bit of knee-jerk reaction to a problem thats been happening for quite sometime. Micromanagin the federal education system is not going to work, kids are going to fall through the cracks (or get left behind). i think its also a step back from the constructivist teaching method that has been gaining popularity, and rightly so i think. making all kids conform to the same standard, take the same test, display the sam knowledge in the same subject areas is ridiculous. kids are not robots..they’re kids! they are different and unique and should be taught this way. i think you are right that individual districts or states should have more control over standars than the federal goverenment. they know they’e culture more, they know the economy of the state and the background that a lot of the kids are coming from much better than any distant government official ever could. i think your opinions are right on and should be heeded by some of our educational leaders.

As with the other commenter i am also opposed to uniform standards. How can we go so quickly from being a country with each state and area haveing its own standards on things to a country with uniform standards will be very hard. I do think that this might be a good thing but I am not sure that it is going to be something that is to easy. I think that it is something that can be done, but it must be down slowly. I think that looking at all the different standards that are out there and finding the best options that there are out there and seting those as standards would be the best way to go. But to get to this, we should move slowly and all work together as a team to make this change run smoothy, not give orders and except them to be done quckly. As you can see I have really mixed feelings on this subject and I am not sure what I think!

I feel that I also am opposed to uniform standards, but I do not know a whole lot about them. If standardized tests do not work at a local level I feel they also will not work at a national level. If we did have a National Standardized Test we may already know how the results will end up. Priviledged private and suburban schools will score much higher than rural and inner-city schools. East and West Coast states will probably score higher than southern and midwest. It seems to me like a standardized test could be like taking a cough suppresant when you have pneumonia; you are only treating the symptoms. So what is the root of the problem in failing schools? I also cannot answer this. I do feel the answer lies in a metacognitive, critical thinking level. I think maybe if we spend more time teaching students HOW to learn instead of WHAT to learn we may end up on the right path. But this would entail a complete overhaul of the current education system and generally people are opposed to drastic change. I am optimistic by nature. I think our country will almost need an academic revolution to make these drastic changes. Is this revolution possible?
