"The 2002 No Child Left Behind Act is the most important
legislation in American education since the 1960s. The law requires
states to put into place a set of standards together with a
comprehensive testing plan designed to ensure these standards are
met. Students at schools that fail to meet those standards may
leave for other schools, and schools not progressing adequately
become subject to reorganization. The significance of the law lies
less with federal dollar contributions than with the direction it
gives to federal, state, and local school spending. It helps codify
the movement toward common standards and school accountability. Yet
NCLB will not transform American schools overnight. The first
scholarly assessment of the new legislation, No Child Left Behind?
breaks new ground in the ongoing debate over accountability.
Contributors examine the law's origins, the political and social
forces that gave it shape, the potential issues that will surface
with its implementation, and finally, the law's likely consequences
for American education. "
