NCLB Requires 100 Percent Proficiency in 2014 – Right?

‘Betcha’ think that No Child Left Behind sets impossible targets of 100 percent proficiency for schools to reach in 2014 with all their kids, even their learning disabled kids – Right?

Well, guess again. Thanks to an extensive set of loopholes, it is quite possible for schools to escape any trouble with NCLB in 2014 with proficiency rates well below 100 percent, possibly as low as only 50 or 60 percent.

Don’t believe it? Better read “Kentucky's No Child Left Behind Loopholes” in the new Bluegrass Institute Wiki.
