No child Left Behind...?

So as you can tell I have been really busy because I haven't logged on to post something. I was carefully watching my blog though for comments as well as letting my first post marinate on the internet.
We talked in the last post a little bit about solutions. I feel like we do have a problem. In the United States there are just too many citizens that do not get a great education. Well before I begin talking about solutions I wanted to talk some about the No Child Left Behind Act. If you have some personal insight or feelings about this, please share!
At first I thought the No Child Left Behind act was the idea that no student will stay behind a great anynmore and that everyone will move on. But as I was doing my research for my paper about teaching, I found that my assumnption was wrong. What this act meant, was that schools would have more standards and would have to meet them. This was backed by more standardized testing to assess students on standards. (citation)In all this was a great idea, because those schools that do not produce good students would have to raise their standards. This was good till you found teachers cutting corners and blantantly teaching material that was going to be one the standardized testing. This does not help teaching really at all. If the schools then didn't meet these standards they would recieve extra help or people could get excused form attending that high school. If this high school continues to do bad they would get taken over by the government. They were hoping this would increase standards for schools, but many schools still cannot meet standards.
So the first order of business to refine No Child Left Behind Act. Agree?
