[LM_NET] GEN: No Child Left Behind reauthorization?

[Richard Moore <RichardGuy@AOL.COM>]

     Around the nation, teachers, including LMTs, are discussing NCLB.   The 
Congress is working on proposals to reauthorize the legislation, even as there 
are calls for a variety of changes and even elimination (a return to ESEA).   
These discussions are taking place among school boards, teacher unions, and 
in the faculty rooms of schools. 

     I submit the following websites as examples of groups that have weighed 
in on the subject.

     I have been involved with Educator Roundtable since its beginning and 
they have posted research to analyze the claims and counterclaims in the 
discussion.   I hope this will be useful in helping your folks locally to 
understand 
the issues involved.
