NCLB actually pushes the public schools to be more flexible with teaching methods. One of my sons is a very visual learner with an auditory processing disorder. In order for him to succeed on these tests, the school has become far more proactive about finding alternative learning programs many of which are hands on and computer based rather than the traditional sitting at a desk listening to a teacher lecture. Before NCLB, good teachers would have explored alternatives but most had little incentive to vary from the mainstream.
