Which of the following is a feature of the No Child Left Behind Act?
  1. Mandated property tax maximums
  2. Annual testing to measure progress
  3. Stronger support for teachers unions
  4. Federal takeover of locally-controlled schools
  5. Mandated longer school days
Explanation
Answer: B - The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was designed to increase accountability in public schools through annual student standardized testing. Each school would receive a grade based on the performance of the students. Schools with low grades would receive additional federal funds as long as the school made improvement. If improvement was not made the school could be shut down. It was arguably the largest federal government incursion into education in US history.
