AZ Senate Debate: on Education

Stuart Starky: No Child Left Behind shifts tax dollars into private schools

The most important thing we need is teachers who care and who say, 'Yes, you can.' It has nothing to do with No Child Left Behind. No Child Left Behind does not help teachers teach in the classroom, and it doesn't help students learn. No Child Left Behind labels schools as failures so that more and more of our tax dollars can be shifted into private schools and charter schools and into tax credits.
