| This first significant study of how the No Child Left Behind Act is
influencing instructional time and professional development reveals
that schools are spending more time on reading, math, and science but
squeezing out the arts. This shift away from liberal arts subjects is
most pronounced in elementary schools and schools with large minority
populations. The information found in this study is based on a survey
of more than 1,000 principals in four representative states (Indiana,
Maryland, New Mexico, and New York) that were chosen for their
socio-economic, political, and geographical diversity. |
