      This quote right here needs to be on every teacher's mirror for them to stare at as they get ready for their day: "This is the civil rights issue of our generation. There is also and economic imperative." I could agree more.

      In my opinion, the effects of NCLB are detrimental to student learning and success which I agree makes it a civil rights issue. I don't think it is fair that all students in a school must suffer because their school does not meet the required test scores. I think NCLB is good in theory but not in practice

      The NCLB is just horrible, we can see this just by reviewing the test scores of the students. I just don't see how anything good came out of this for both students and teachers. The students are failing more and who gets blamed for the low test scores?

      This right here, is scary. When the group think has permeated so deep into our cultural perception that standardized testing as they are today are beneficial that even a teacher has bought in... shudder.

      This teachers view of testing is contradictory to most educators that I have encountered. In fact many educators vehemently disagree with mandated testing and its consequences. It is a scary thought when educators believe their is benefit for students in high stakes testing.

      I agree Ashley; I have not heard many teachers say that standerdized testing is good. Standardized testing is lowering down the curriculum I believe.

    Standardized testing cripples cirriculum. It greatly limits the scope and breadth of knowledge. In fact, true knowledge isn't even really gained from this form of education. Not to mention, the idea of a standard in nearly all other areas of society is looked down upon. For instance, say that everyone should be held to the "Christian" standard. This would cause a frenzy, as"Chrsitian" ethics are not held in esteem by all. Yet when dealing with education, the opposite is assumed.
