Several States are Terrified Thanks to No Child Left Behind Act

A new survey from the Center on Education Policy reveals that the No Child Left Behind Act is a major pain to most states. State test scores have increased and the achievement gap between different student groups and between those with and without disabilities has slimed since the law has passed. However, most states feel that their is no way that they can meet the Bush Administration's standards.

Several states also feel that a little help from both state and federal government would be allow their schools to live up to Bush's standards. Four-fifth of our states says that they weren't getting the dough they need to meet the law's requirements.

For more info on how much our nation enjoys the No Child Left Behind Act, read this New York Times article or check out CNN.com's latest report.
