But, oops, since the $13 billion for Title I in the stimulus (really only $10 billion in state grants) is spread out over two years you're actually wrong about full funding.<br/><br/>But hey, glad to know that you consider a one-time infusion of a year's worth of Title I money constitutes "full funding" and makes up for the past 7 years of inadequate investments. yes, that’s $25 billion per year. so you are correct that NCLB is finally “fully funded” for this year.

Equally important is the incoherent measure of student progress. Thankfully, the law is now funded as you say. Now, let's work on fine-tuning the AYP instruments to actually measure what students are learning and acknowledge real progress. “Unfunded mandate” has always been only one concern.

I'm sure the next related complaint will be that the funding is not enough for what they are expected to do. There are those who just need to complain.

Your point is well taken. Now that NCLB can be considered fully funded, there is no escaping the long arm of the regulations. Does this now negate the arguments of fundng when NCLB is reauthorized later this year? I suppose this fits into the “be careful what you wish (or beg) for” column. Your point is well taken.
