Some students seem to sleep through school year after year, never paying much attention or making much effort. Concerned about NCLB, some schools are considering technologies that will provoke just enough shock and awe to awaken even the most resistant students.
Concerned that NCLB puts too much emphasis on testing and not enough on capacity building and funding, FNO Press has launched a new journal, "No Child Left," and a Web site, http://nochildleft.com, to urge repeal or drastic amendment of NCLB. You can subscribe for free to the monthly journal.
