Reading, math scores show little gain since ‘No Child’ act

“Despite a new federal educational testing law championed by the Bush administration, scores among fourth- and eighth-graders failed to show any improvements in reading, and showed only slow gains in math nationally during the past two years, according to a study released Wednesday.

Most troubling for educators are the sluggish reading skills among middle school students, which have remained flat for 13 years, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, which has been testing students for three decades and bills itself as the “nation’s report card.”"
