CT News Junkie | Education Bill Discussions Continue, Collective Bargaining A Sticking Point For Lawmakers: "Lawmakers are trying to find a solution that makes a difference, Williams said. “Not just something that is, you know, part of the latest education policy fashion or trend, we’ve been down this road before.”
Williams cited the federal No Child Left Behind law, which was supposed to fundamentally change the education system.
“In point of fact, it just created an atmosphere of teaching to the test, branding many schools [as] ‘failing’ when they weren’t failing. Other schools that were failing didn’t get the financial resources that were originally promised,” he said.
Most people agree that No Child Left Behind has been a failure, Williams said. Connecticut lawmakers don’t want to repeat those mistakes and “embrace reform for reform’s sake,” he said."
