The federal government has consistently failed to provide the amount of funding the program requires.
Achievement is measured only by a student's performance on annual multiple-choice reading and math tests.
Teachers are increasingly only teaching "to the test" due to the widespread fear that their students will perform badly resulting in their termination.
Critics argue that by teaching to the test, many students fail to receive a creative, personally relevant and well-rounded curriculum.

In the past year, more schools have been identified as "in need of improvement" than in previous years.
