Interesting article. I have heard several parents mention that they wished their children got to vote the books, materials and coursework that they are expected to learn. I have heard children say that they wished they could take a day off when they are feeling stressed.
As the author of the article mentioned, I am not against public schools. Even if we get rid of NCLB, there is another act waiting to take the place of NCLB- Race to the Top, public schools are stuck under very bad acts and laws.
