WARD AND THE FUTURE OF NCLB

A group of Minnesota State Senators suggested last year that Minnesota get out of federal No Child Left Behind standards. Brainerd Lawmaker John Ward said the law needs serious examnination. Ward said as the leadership changes, so do theories of education and he sees few things about No Child Left Behind that he embraces. Ward said, in his opinion, much of the law should be scrapped but there are some good things and they should be kept.
