In his State of the Union address, President Obama held out the hope of mending the main law outlining the federal role in public schools, a slow-progressing 45-year-old law that dates to the Johnson administration. But experts say it would be a heavy lift for the administration to get the job done this year because the law has produced so many conflicts, there is so little time and there are so many competing priorities. In 2001, when Congress completed the law's most recent rewrite, the effort took a full year, and the bipartisan (两党的) agreement that made that possible has long since shattered (破灭). Today there is wide agreement that the law needs to be mended, but not on how to fix its shortcomings. Since it was revised into its current form by the second Bush administration—and renamed No Child Left Behind—it has generated frequent debate with different opinions, partly because it requires schools to apply tests with a far more strict standard and because it labels schools that fail to make progress fast enough each year as "needing improvement." That category draws penalties (处罚) and has grown to include more than 30,000 schools. Several states sued (控告) the Bush administration over the law in the last decade, unsuccessfully. Connecticut challenged its financing provisions, saying it imposed costly demands without providing adequate financing. Arizona fought rules on the testing of immigrant students. "It's hard to see how they can get" a rewrite done, said Joel Packer, executive director of the Committee for Education Funding. "If there's some bipartisan agreement about what the administration proposes, and the Republicans say, 'We want to work together,' then may be. But I think it's going to be tough." During the 2008 campaign and his first year in office, President Obama's attitude was popular with almost everyone: the law reflects worthwhile goals like narrowing the achievement gap between ethnic minority and white students, he said, but includes weak provisions that need fixing. Once any rewrite begins in earnest, however, Mr. Obama will need to support specific changes that will be unpopular with at least some groups.1.
