If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words . . .

November 19, 2007 12:33 PM

If ED is trying to combat the perception that NCLB has led to more testing, why choose this picture for the cover of the national NCLB implementation report? It looks to me like the kids are filling in bubble sheets for the state assessment under the teacher's watchful eye. Maybe it's an accurate depiction of what the Bush Administration thinks classrooms should look like.

P.S. I will have something substantive to say about the report, once I have read it (200+ pages).
