What's Next for "No Child left Behind"

Wow, it's already been 5 years since President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act. This year, 2007, is the year when the Act expires and must be voted on again by Congress.

What will happen to No Child Left Behind? Most think the idea is a good one, but results or execution leaves much to be desired. Seems that the goal is to get all students proficient in Math and English by the 2013-2014 school year. Some feel that's an unreasonable goal...that never has there been a 100% proficiency in a particular subject. Others think it's attainable, but thus far the implementation of the act has been less than ideal.

Will the No Child Left Behind Act be reauthorized? Some think chances are slim. Others say we need to be patient, educational reform is not something that happens overnight.

What do you think? Here's an article on this topic - Click here.
