Which means I can just SAY I'm a pagan but I never bother doing rituals or studying any kind of sacred texts or developing a relationship with deity, etc! I can go around and not be Christian, but I won't quite be anything else either because I just can't commit and I can't be ARSED to commit!"

hrmmm, most of the crazies i've seen though, are well before the nclb generation... i think it has less to do with education and more to do with people following what they want to hear.

The basic assessment method is broken too, and has worsened the problems with breadth and depth of teaching, with schools only teaching whats on the test in order to get a high graduation rate.

I think that is a problem with many systems, and sometimes just falls to personal "teaching style".

A main problem (from what I can gather) about the no child left behind policy, is that if you start handing out good grades to try and keep the kids interested in learning, is that it gives them no incentive to try at all. Why the hell would you do any work when you can just goof of and still get a decent mark?

Theres a basic problem with grades too, unfortunately.
