Proficiency for All Is an Oxymoron

Education Week points out that 'Proficiency for All' Is an Oxymoron.
The No Child Left Behind Act requires all students to be proficient by 2014. This is widely understood to be unattainable because 2014 is too soon. But there is no date by which all (or nearly all) students, even middle-class students, can achieve proficiency. “Proficiency for all” is an oxymoron.
