The chapter that I found most interesting in this book was chapter 3 which deals with NCLB and high stakes testing. Particularly, I found the discussion of how the law is changing the way teaching is done as interesting.
A bit of an eye-opener, was the discussion of politicians attacking the teachers' union and teachers as a whole.
Perhaps I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I believe NCLB was intended to weaken and/or break the teachers' union and this was backed up by some of the comments in the text.
Ditto.
