Can you imagine if No Child Left Behind was applied to Iraq?

Here are the major headers for Adequate Yearly Progress from No Child Left Behind:


"WHY SETTING THE BAR AND MEASURING PROGRESS WILL WORK:

Democrats and Republicans agree that failure will no longer be funded.

No Child Left Behind ties funding to academic achievement for the first time in history.

Improvement at a snail's pace and chronic underachievement are inadequate and unacceptable.

Academic expectations and improvement timeframes will be clear.

No Child Left Behind supports schools and is realistic about progress.

Failure cannot hide."
