WUNC spent two years observing classes and talking with students, teachers and administrators about how No Child Left Behind is working.
This week we continue a series exploring the impact of the “No Child Left Behind” Law. We’re reporting from Western Guilford High School in Greensboro. On Friday, we met two struggling 9th graders, Jessica Giardullo and RJ McLaughlin. The 2005 school year is underway. Western is under intense pressure to raise test scores. And the school has put RJ, Jessica and 83 other freshmen in a special set of classes designed to bring them up to speed, fast. Emily Hanford has part 3 of our series “Put to the Test.”
