The report that was put out earlier this week on the bubble effect caused by NCLB (the theory is that by focusing on the numbers of students who test 'proficient', NCLB has created an incentive for schools to place most of their focus on kids closest to becoming proficient, rather than focusing on the weakest overall performers) has gotten a lot of attention.
I was at the AEI conference in DC on Monday where it was unveilled, and am generally interested in looking closely at the unintended consequences (real or perceived) of major policies like this.
But there were four things I came away feeling needed additional attention after the report was released and hashed-out by a panel of respondents.
