Quote to note.
Spellings, Margaret
"The No Child Left Behind Act has brought out the best in our
teachers. And they have brought out the best of this law, turning high
standards and accountability into real results for our children. Across
the country, test scores are rising while the decades-long achievement
gap is beginning to narrow. As we expand the successful reform
principles, we must not forget the vital role our teachers play. The
course they set now will determine our nation's success in the
future."
--Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (5/2/06)
