It’s been about a year since Congress passed an education bill calling for mandatory annual testing of school children nationwide. Known as the “No Child Left Behind” Act, the measure also requires detailed tracking of children’s academic progress. States’ reactions have been mixed. Some say implementing the standards is too costly and resent the federal intrusion - Nebraska is even challenging the constitutionality of the Act in court. In Ohio “No Child Left Behind” is embraced at the state level, but some local school administrators say they’ll be hard-pressed to meet the federal standards. Bill Rice of member station WCPN has more. |
