First sentence: Schools now live in a policy world populated, for example, by the No Child Left Behind Act, which requires schools to meet annual yearly performance targets, weeks of time consumed by student testing, a narrow focus on literacy and numeracy, the constant threat of school reconstitution if external achievement standards are not met, and a host of other demands for greater public accountability.
