| Abstract: |
The authors express their opinions regarding the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) waiver system for state's struggling to meet the legislations requirements. They discuss identifying priority and focus schools, problems associated with states' concentration on proficiency rates to measure school effectiveness, and steps states can take to improve low-performing schools. |
