No Child Left Behind Harms High Performers


Apparently all the focus and attention that schools are now providing to "low-achieving" students is resulting in less attention and care to the high-achievers.
“This is like sports, ? said Chester E. Finn Jr., the institute’s president, who served in the Education Department under President Ronald Reagan. “If the only goal of a sports program is to get people over a three-foot hurdle, why would anybody be coached to get over a four-foot hurdle? They wouldn’t. So those who can already sail over a three-foot hurdle have no incentive to do anything except to sleep late. ?
Every single person I knew related to the education field knew that the No Child Left Behind act was going to be trouble.
