Questions for Chapter 1

Isn't NCLB a performance goal (Ch. 4 Brophy)? It is exactly the kind of thing our book talks about as being what we shouldn't do if we want our children to actually value learning.

NCLB also requires schools with the lowest proficiency to make the largest gains? Again, isn't this contradictory to 'Brophy', in that a student should make progress based on where 'they' are not where everyone else already is?
