New
Hampshire Governor John Lynch is urging federal education officials to approve
a waiver freeing the state from some provisions of the No Child Left Behind
Act.
Education Commissioner Armando Vilaseca discusses the top school issues, VPR’s John Dillon provides the latest on wind power developments and we listen back to the voices in the news this week.
Governor
Peter Shumlin wants Vermont to seek a waiver from parts of the federal No Child
Left Behind Act that he says aren’t working for the state. To get the
waiver, states must agree to a number of education reforms.
Vermont ‘s Education Commissioner is
pleased that the Obama administration is moving to eliminate a key part of "No Child Left
Behind", because he says the law is a "one size fits all"
approach to education that doesn’t work.
