Oregon Ed Professors Proponents of NCLB and "Scientifically-Based
Research"
Despite a slew of critics who argue that the Bush administration's
education policy has stifled creativity and brought rigidity
into the classroom, a group of education professors at the University
of Oregon contend that the No Child Left Behind movement is the
answer to the country's education woes.
"Science provides stability," Doug Carnine, director of UO's National
Center to Improve the Tools of Educators and long-time Bush consultant, reported
to CNN.com. According to Carnine, up until recently, education had generally
been a philosophy-based system, founded mainly on the skills of public speakers. However,
the professors at Oregon insist that in order to see the results called for by
NCLB--namely that all children, regardless of their background, be at grade level
in reading and math by 2014--a more disciplined system with quantifiable results
must be implemented.
