About time someone noticed the flaws in NCLB! Up to now, the worst criticism politicians could come up with was that it was underfunded, while educators were wishing that it would become unfunded. I know the public, both as a whole and as individuals, have a right to demand the best from educators, but politically driven reforms often do more harm that good.
