2. Is it a success?
It is a program that is and has been underfunded, poorly managed, cannot be adequately duplicated across the country desite claims to the contrary and does nothing to offer better instruction. It is an "accountability" program aimed at school personnel that is designed to both discourage stagnation in education and usher in vouchers for private schools. Having said this, how long would you suppose it would take to make this program a success with limited funds and FEMA like assistance from the Federal or State governments?

1 year, 5 years, 10 years?

The only thing accomplished with NCLB is that the bill was passed during this administration and the test companies have made out like bandits. As to the Neil Bush angle, who knows?
