MD Educators Believe NCLB Science Tests May Produce Sobering ResultsElementary and middle school students in Maryland were tested in science last week for the first time under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), and, according to a Washington Post report, some area educators feel the results might be sobering. "I think this test will open up some eyes," said Brian Friess, a fifth-grade teacher at Highland Elementary School in Silver Spring. According to teachers and principals, many elementary schools offer half as much science instruction as they did before NCLB, often splitting the time with social studies instruction. Some middle schools that used to offer a full year of science and social studies now only give a semester of each.
