President Obama - N.C.L.B and Education in America

President Obama most definitely has a way with words. Although the salary increase sounds nice for teachers, what we should focus on is what President Obama says about the N.C.L.B Act and how it takes class time away from subjects such as art, physical education, foreign languages, etc, in order to focus more on subjects that will be found on standardized tests. Are students in school learning to become educated, or to pass a test?
