Prominent educators discuss their new book Many Children Left Behind and how the No Child Left Behind Act is damaging children and schools.

No Child Left Behind purports to improve public schools, especially the way they serve poor children by enforcing a system of standards and accountability through high-stakes testing and sanctions. Deborah Meier, Monty Neill, and Ted Sizer contend that it is damaging children and schools. They propose alternatives to the current law to better achieve the ideal of a sound education for all children in their new book Many Children Left Behind.
