Costs to comply (setting standards, testing children, publishing the results and intervening in low-performing schools) are actually modest

Some states have taken NCLB seriously, but majority expect woefuly little of their students and schools, and have developed nebuolous standards.

Standardised testing isn't all bad. If the test is an honest measure of a solid curriculum, then teaching kids the skills and knowledge they need to pass it is honorable work.

Not compulsary - states can forgo federal dollars

Standardized testing is rife with cultural bias

Standardized test are only facts based not learning process based

Basic education does not include music, etc.

Cookie cutter education that serves the mean and does not speak to gifted or special need students

Artificial high standards cause many schools to fail insuring education $ are returned to Federal coffers

Erodes state and local control of schools

Because of the lack of freedom students with special needs (ESL and disabilities) are neglected

Schools set lower standards/segregate low performers and encourage weak students to leave the system

Schools must choose from federally mandated publishers and can only use federal funding for those/limits creativity

Testing does not come with $ or plans to remedy shortfalls

Indicators of performance are not accurate
