| The fourth annual report of a comprehensive study of the No Child Left
Behind Act (NCLB) finds that this major legislation is changing the
face of education in the United States. Aside from the positive effects
of NCLB, greater burdens, inadequate funding, and the focus on raising
test scores may be infringing on arts education. Twenty-two percent of
survey respondents admit to reducing time for arts and music to
increase instructional time for reading and math. |
