1. 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)
2. 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)
