First sentence: The alleged "Texas Miracle" in education (Haney, 2000, 2001), combined with the 2002 reauthorization of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (popularly known as the "No Child Left Behind Act" [NCLB]), has shifted what was once an intrastate debate over educational accountability to a national-level issue.
