One more thought on the subject, the only proof I need of the failure of NCLB is to watch my parents, two of the most dedicated professionals to ever teach, clamboring to get out of the profession as quickly as possible. It's depressing, and they aren't alone. The teachers that truly teach, rather than cram test material down kids' throats, are being devalued and driven away. It's a disaster.
