           Standards, Accountability and Flexibility: Americans Speak on No Child Left Behind Reauthorization
            ETS's seventh annual public opinion poll, Standards, Accountability and Flexibility: Americans Speak on No Child Left Behind Reauthorization, reveals that parents, teachers and administrators strongly support No Child Left Behind (NCLB) reauthorization, despite limited knowledge about the law's provisions. They also favor greater flexibility in assisting students and schools struggling to meet high standards and call for increased funding for poorly performing schools to make adequate yearly progress.

            The survey also shows that a majority of adults and parents think the 50 sets of state standards and tests should be replaced with one set of national standards and tests. English-language learners should be given more time to learn the language before they are pushed to learn the core curriculum at grade level.
