"Reforming No Child Left Behind. We need to reform the No Child Left Behind (“NCLB”) Act so that we close student achievement gaps and improve student performance. While the goals of NCLB are important, the means to achieving the goals need to be reconsidered. Measuring success solely through standardized tests fails to take into account the full extent of the teacher-student relationship and the sometimes incremental steps by which students learn. I will fight for a law that recognizes that standardized tests should be only one tool in a comprehensive set of tools for measuring student progress"

Please donate to his campaign. It is important that Linda McMahon is defeated.

regarding the absurd level of mandatory testing that was required as part of NCLB.
