I found an interesting article on NCLB from Education Week entitled Candidates are at odds over K-12 . But McCain and Obama both back NCLB Goals.
Senator McCain and Senator Obama support NCLB goals and use of testing . Obama says the goals and higher standards are right.
McCain says the law is a good beginning but needs to improve for Special Ed and ESL students.
Just like we heard mentioned in the movie in class the Goal of NCLB is 100% proficiency. This is unrealistic because you can't guarantee it .
A political scientist mentioned that this could be a big issue in the upcoming Presidential election.
Check out www.edweek.org for complete article. What does everyone think about this?

I read part of the article because you have to subscribe in order to read all of it. However, I am very curious what McCain means by marketing and reducing spending. I will be watching closely as to what both candidates have to say about NCLB and other programs.
I will bring it to class on Monday
