A positive outcome of No Child Left Behind is the requirement to
◦ create extreme text anxiety among students due to awareness that their performance will affect their teacher's employment
◦ mandate that all students achieve academic proficiency within 12 years regardless of prior educational opportunities in the U.S. or their home countries
◦ report test scores for subgroups based on poverty, race, ethnicity, disability, and limited English proficiency
◦ implement punitive measures for low-performing schools, such as transferring teachers and principals to other schools
