An end to No Child Left Behind could spell an end to outside tutoring in NJ
With all the talk of New Jersey and other states seeking waivers from the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, one result could be an end to the growing reliance on outside tutoring firms for students in the lowest-performing schools.
In the last available count, more than 23,000 New Jersey students in 2009-2010 availed themselves of the free after-school tutoring that NCLB requires schools to offer if they fall short of achievement requirements. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
