Is the No Child Left Behind Act Working?

'The pressures of No Child Left Behind has forced some states, like California, Oklahoma, and Texas, to lower the achievement standard that students need to be proficient in reading and math, says Bruce Fuller, a UC Berkeley professor of education and public policy and coauthor of the recent report "Is the No Child Left Behind Act Working?"
Why should we care? Because lowering the bar on what it means to be proficient distorts the true extent to which kids are learning, so we really have no clear knowledge of how kids are progressing.'
