no, logic of California exit exams as to unconstitutionality would not appply to NCLB. The consequences for exit exams is that students do not graduate -- a student is potentially suffering because of something over which s/he has no control, the amount and quality of education s/he receives. But in NCLB what you have is a condition of receiving Federal aid, directed at schools, who are judged on an issue for which in theory they have control. The situations are not comparable. I don't like NCLB, but this is a false path. Kenneth BernsteinEleanor Roosevelt HSGreenbelt MD Kenneth J. Bernstein
