Holy McClellan! USDE Official Regrets Her Actions On NCLB

A big group of education types led by EPI and joined by former USDE official Susan Neuman have come together and signed statement calling for a broader, bolder approach to education -- specifically working beyond NCLB and beyond the schoolhouse doors (No Child Left Behind: Doomed to Fail? TIME).  It's not a full-on slam against NCLB, though, praising as it does the disaggregation requirements in the law.  But its main focus is outside traditional K12 education, including preschool afterschool health service and parent education.
