- focused solely on academic achievement and test scores to evaluate schools
- if schools did not achieve adequate yearly progress, they would be punished (labeled as "needs improvement," budget cuts, teachers fired, etc.)
- teachers pressured to "teach to the test" in order to reach proficiency in math and reading
- other subject areas outside of testing often cut (art, music, social studies, etc.) in order to focus on core subjects
