Is NCLB a solution to educational inequality?

• Some positives
• Same goals for all students (which addresses
  Wilcoxs findings)
• 100 highly qualified teachers (since
  high-poverty schools are more likely to have
  teachers who are not highly qualified)

Is NCLB a solution to educational inequality?

• Some negatives
• Ryans unintended consequences
• Puts more pressure on schools which receive Title
  I, which serve low-income students
• Does not address the underlying structural issues
  of funding disparities or racial and
  socioeconomic segregation (also true of charter
  and voucher programs).
• May result in a loss of public support for public
  education in general (which will harm low-income
  students the most)
