Race to the Top

http://www2.ed.gov/programs/racetothetop/index.html

I have heard about this idea of Race to the Top, I didn't know anything about it, but I had heard about it.  So today, I decided that I wanted to do a little research about it.  Since I had heard about this initiative, I have been wondering if it was going to replace the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB).  Here, I want to do some pros and cons (just out of curiosity, do any of you know what pro and con stand for...I have been wondering about that lately.) of Race to the top and see how it compares to NCLB.  There probably are going to be some great parts of Race to the Top, but some flaws as well.  The main thing that I can see now as of writing this post (before I read anything) is the accountability of schools and teachers will be missing.

I will be talking about it in a few posts because I feel that I need to understand each part in detail.
