"NCLB got it "backwards," according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan in his first
Congressional testimony since his confirmation in January. He told legislators it's
time to consider reversing the role of the federal government and provide "clear
guidance" to districts on how student achievement should be defined moving forward
and offer support for efforts that are clearly having a positive impact on
students."
