Research Progress
My research is clearly pointing to one conclusion. That is that the NCLB is ineffective. Furthermore, it is ineffective for a myriad of reasons. However, there is a surprising lack of research posted or conducted on its effect on critical thinking and cognitive development. My hope is to discover research and supporting data for this theory. It seems far too important to have been overlooked. I believe that test scores requiring critical thinking such as the PSAT, SAT, LSAT, GRE and MCAT prior to and after the implementation of NCLB will indicate an impact. I will focus heavily on quantitative measurements such as these to formulate my argument.

I think it is a great topic. Try www.ed.gov if you have not already, it has information about it. Also, try Youtube.com I saw this video last semester on the Blogger Summit it is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou should think about presenting your findings at a school board meeting (if possible) or at a conference.
This is such an important issue. I hope that you decide to at least present it to that UG research symposium. You never know what change one person can bring...
