There was an article in my hometown newspaper about No Child Left Behind. In it, all but one teachers that were interviewed had a criticism of the effects of the act. There was one teacher who defended it, but still admitted that there needed to be changes. Dr. Schmidt's discussion about what we can do to cause change, rather than complaining, got me thinking. With the ammendment period around the corner, what can we as students, who see and read about the negative effects, do to create the changes we envision?
