I actually have always supported teaching to the tests. As I have said, many times, what's on the tests is what we should be teaching (and there's a huge amount of material on the tests- so when parents ask me, "What is my son learning this year?"- I can give them a copy of my standards, covered on the CST, and honestly claim I hit everything on there several times.) No one says teaching to the test has to be boring. I teach the material the way I always have. Every one of my lessons has always covered multiple standards- so my teaching isn't any different than it was before NCLB- so I don't get the issue either. I guess there were teachers who were totally slacking. I have no sympathy for those teachers.
