And, I still think that the results of NCLB are not going to be completely measured until the classes in elementary school when it began start earning wages.

We'll certainly keep learning about the impact through then, but if the philosophy works, we should be seeing real results in the 5-10 year period after implementation.
While I'd be happy to concede that the program is not yet fully implemented, responsibility for that lies at Bush's and Hasert's doorstep.
The telling problem is that your guys in DC just haven't stuck by and prioritized this.
