Another "No child left behind" pimp defects
It's not often you get the inside scoop on legislation that has completely polarized educators and the public. However, such is the case with "true confessions" from Susan Neuman, a respected educator, University of the Pacific graduate and early federal driving force behind the implementation of No Child Left Behind...

She now reflects on her brief (2002-03) but enthusiastic stay in D.C. with some regrets...

Her comments are much too late. Unfortunately, we are all living with the aftermath of NCLB legislation she so strongly endorsed and has now renounced.

As one of her doctoral dissertation committee members, I'd like to ask her, "Susan, don't you owe all hardworking, creative, tireless teachers an apology?"

2. "Poverty trumps everything"
She climbed that far in her career without ever noticing that?
