Schools need to be held accountable for teaching ALL students to read, etc. -- not just those who are the "smartest" or the wealthiest. They also need to start implementing research-based practices. If NCLB is to be abolished or significantly amended, then we need to make sure that these two conditions -- of teaching ALL students, and employing evidence-based practices -- are met... and we can't rely upon the states' dept of educations to handle that.
