Many Children Left Behind: How the No Child Left Behind Act Is Damaging Our Children and Our Schools Paperback - 2004 - 1st Edition

First line

Many civil rights advocates initially hailed the Bush administration's major education bill, optimistically entitled No Child Left Behind, as a step forward in the long battle to improve education for those children traditionally left behind in American schools-in particular, students of color and students living in poverty, new English learners, and students with disabilities.

Media reviews

"This is a valuable and insightful look at the most sweeping school-reform policy in 35 years." —Booklist

"This book is a clarion call for a public education that serves all children well and a reminder that our functioning democracy is at stake." —Publishers Weekly

"Many Children Left Behind does a chilling job of summarizing the case against the NCLB educational law and the policies put into place during George W. Bush’s administration. It reveals the fallacies, the hidden agendas and the distortions embedded in this act . . . This book marks an important stage in the dialogue about the future of American education." —NoChildLeft.com
