Abstract	This article describes the contents of a proposal released last week by a coalition that includes some of the most prominent critics of the No Child Left Behind Act. It asks Congress to scrap the accountability system at the center of the federal education law in favor of one that holds schools responsible for improving teacher training and parental involvement. The Forum on Educational Accountability, which includes the National Education Association and the National School Boards Association, is also suggesting drastic changes in the way states set and measure their annual achievement targets. Less than a week before the forum's recommendations were released, 10 Democratic senators sent a letter to key members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that criticizes the NCLB law's heavy reliance on standardized testing--a concern echoed by the forum.
