We can occupy that space in a manner that is generative of potentiality and opportunity for ourselves and others or …

Political Economy And The Nclb Regime: Accountability Standards And High Stakes Testing, Paul T. Parkinson
Educational Leadership Faculty Publications
Focus and institutional policy under the No Child Left Behind Act [NCLB] (U.S. Department of Education 2001) has prioritized the individualistic, market-driven agenda. The NCLB regime has gained hegemony over the political space of public education, and the value and effectiveness of the educational process has become subject to the fetishism of standardized test scores. Utilizing the political economy of the sign described by Jean Baudrillard (1981), the political economy of the NCLB regime and the development of test score fetishism is presented.
