Is the Every Child Achieves Act a new direction or just a rebranding?


William J. Mathis gives his opinion of the new education bill, Every Child Achieves Act, which seeks to find new direction after the less than loved No Child Left Behind. Mathis critiques the efficacy and the amount of actual change in the legislation, what will it actually accomplish for our future students. One thing I did notice and was grateful to see was the understanding of how important the socioeconomic gap between students can be when related to student performance. I'll leave that rant for another post ;) What do you think of the new education bill and the article? Leave your comments below!

Here's a link about the bill from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Here's a link to the actual bill.
