Well, it is strange cuz when NCLB was passed, it was the year I graduated from Gallaudet and got my very first teaching job so I dont know what it is like to be a teacher pre-NCLB days. I am so used to having way too much to do and not having enough time to do it but u know what? I dont stress about it cuz there is only so much I can do each day and if the state/Federal govt dont like it, too bad for them. My priority is meeting the kids' learning needs NOT the govt's needs. The worst thing they can do is fire me and I dont think they would fire me for trying to accomplish so much with so little time.
However, I see how biased the assessments put forth by NCLB are and I really do feel for our children who have to suffer.
