Good idea, but a poor implementation. Unfortunately the schools weren't given the money to do what they needed to do and so you get teaching to the test and whatnot. All in all though, we'd be much better off if it had never been instituted.

No child left behind is great if you don't mind kicking the low test preformers out of schools to artificially improve your numbers.
