No Remedy Left Behind is a sobering and important look at the nation's basic federal education law governing K-12 schools. It is a careful and objective examination of how the No Child Left Behind legislation is working--and not working. This is a book for all those so caught up in debating the politics and rewriting of the law that they miss the bigger story of the law's limp remedy for failure and the impunity with which many schools are running out the NCLB accountability clock.
