# featuring Andrew J. Coulson on the failures of No Child Left Behind. 

The No Child Left Behind Act is up for reauthorization, and, supporters’ rhetoric to the contrary, it has failed to live up to its promises. Andrew J. Coulson, the director of Cato’s Center for Educational Freedom, discusses the policy implications of NCLB’s massive imposition on local and state education systems.
