NCLB Role Playing Activity

I thought that the NCLB role playing activity was very interesting. I personally didn't feel like I knew enough about the subject to take a strong position, but that's what made the role playing aspect of it work. Obviously, some people felt very strongly about certain things involved with NCLB, and I enjoyed hearing the points that the students and professors made. The Monday night that we did the role playing activity, I wished that I had known more about it. However, looking back, I believe it was better that we did the role playing activity first, because it helped me keep more of an open mind about certain ideas. I thought the entire activity was very productive.
