  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?

Evonne, I think it is so cool that you are doing your research paper on charter schools. I am taking another class with Kathee and we had a teacher come and talk to us about teaching at University High. What I gained from her presentation that there a lot of pros versus cons. I was totally considering teaching at a charter school after the presentation. Things seem so much easier than public schools, but that can be a myth. Let me know what you come up with. : )
