This time I'm not making an April Fool's Day joke. If you give Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's new??letter about the Title I regs* a good look, you'll notice a subtle linguistic shift:
I support the core principles of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), including closing achievement gaps and demanding accountability for ensuring that all students achieve to high standards. But the law can be improved.
Note that he avoided calling it the "No Child Left Behind act." Say goodbye, NCLB.
* Yes, I'll put it through the reform-o-meter soon.
