I am not opposed to "fully funding" NCLB, so that schools would not have to "narrow the curriculum". But if a greater ratio of a school's hours need to be spent on remedial instruction, wouldn't curriculum have to narrow anyway? I find the NCLB debate fascinating despite the fact that I consider the program a well-intentioned boondoggle reminiscent of LBJ-era social policy mistakes. The federal government has no place in this inherently local concern except to provide funds to the states so they can distribute them as they see fit. The NCLB testing structure improperly influences how a teacher teaches, how curricula are developed, etc., all to the detriment of students. Another fit of federal folderol and a waste of taxes.
