You’ve seen how NCLB

is hurting your students and making your job even more difficult, without good cause. You’re not alone. A recent survey of more than 1,000 adults revealed that a majority of them want Congress to rewrite the faulty law or abolish it.

63 percent  of those polled want the law amended or abolished (49 percent are for amendment, 14 percent are for abolishing it)

68 percent of those polled who have public school children want it changed or ended

43 percent think the law hasn’t been good for schools (Only 34 percent thought it was helping, the rest were unsure) 

6 Major education groups, including NEA, issued a joint statement calling for changes

50 of the 2007 Teachers of the Year issued a statement calling for changes to make the law effective*

Check out video of these teachers explaining why it’s time for a change on NCLB.
