A school teacher in my church complained about the paperwork created by this program "by Bush", so someone said, "Well, complain to Ted Kennedy because that is how Bush let write the bill and Kennedy wanted to create more government workers and could care less about the children."
My brother is an elementary school principal in California. He's not very crazy about "No Child Left Behind" either. His complaints are levied at the reports he has to provide showing improvements for age groups, individual minority groups, boys, girls etc. His school got pinged because the hispanic boys group failed to meet the minimal standards for 3 out of 5 measurements. It takes a great deal of time for the teachers to collate the data for these reports. Instead of submitting scores for the class, the teacher must submit several reports representing each minority group, etc.
It kind of reminds me of what happened in hospitals when they took away Ward Clerks and all the nurses and docs had to start doing the paper work in addition to using computers to provide hospital administration the "data" they needed to measure work performance.
I think these reports are a necessary hassle in public schools if we're going to target teachers who don't teach and identify students who aren't learning.
