No Child Left Behind has helped stress the role of accountability in improving our schools.

Reasons to agree:

1. Parents are more accountable for their children's future. They are given more accountability, because they actually have choices. If a school is failing, parents can take their kids to another school. This simple involvement helps. Parents see other parents taking extra effort to help their kids, like drive them further to school, and they take baby steps to becoming fully involved.
2. Principals who run schools that always fail, will know that their school is failing. How else would they know their school is failing, unless the kids are tested? It is no fair that teachers test kids, but no one tests teachers.
