Reply #7: Unintended consequences [View All]

You have a bad school and mark it as a bad school. Now you've got educators who are associated with a failing school. They aren't going to want that so the better teachers and principals are going to immediately leave the school. The school will then only be able to attract teachers who might not be the best. The school continues to fail. And there's no funding to help the school improve or provide incentives for quality educators to teach there.

That's how I saw an educator on C-Span explain the main problem with NCLB.
