EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
The 5-year-old No Child Left Behind law is up for renewal this month, and its fate is uncertain despite notable success.

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
NCLB has failed. It has failed our schools, it has failed our teachers and it has failed our children.
The Bush administration claims victories, but upon closer scrutiny it becomes clear that the White House is simply dressing up ugly data with fancy political spin. Far from leaving no child behind, President Bush seems to have left reality behind.
