This absurd statistic demonstrates that the law isn\u2019t working the way it was intended.<\/span><\/strong> However, because Congress hasn\u2019t seized the initiative to make major changes, school districts are operating in limbo between a flawed law and an unsure future in the direction of federal policy. For our public schools to move forward and for our children to be competitive, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) is pushing Congress to pass a new law this year. NSBA represents the nation\u2019s 13,800 school boards, but there\u2019re thousands of administrators, teachers, and other school staff members who also see the law\u2019s problems firsthand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We can\u2019t wait another year for a new ESEA &#8212; from ednetinsight.com by Mary Broderick Mary Broderick, 2011-2012 President, National School Boards Association (NSBA), and the former chair of Connecticut\u2019s East Lyme Board of Education \u2014 Friday, April 13, 2012 Excerpt: For nearly five years, school leaders around the country have urged Congress to make [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[86,159,347,46,74,285,20,321,11],"tags":[614,653,739,4,27,579,728,573],"class_list":["post-28562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-change","category-dangers-of-the-status-quo","category-education-reform","category-k-12-related","category-leadership","category-legislation-legislatures","category-strategy","category-united-states","category-vision-possibilities","tag-change","tag-dangers-of-the-status-quo","tag-education-reform","tag-k-12","tag-legislation","tag-strategy","tag-united-states","tag-vision"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28562"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28565,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28562\/revisions\/28565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
