Okay, here is something else i found in the actual NCLB document:
A-Z INDEX
Part H � School Dropout Prevention
SEC. 1801 | SEC. 1802 | SEC. 1803
SEC. 1801. SHORT TITLE.
This part may be cited as the 'Dropout Prevention Act'.
SEC. 1802. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this part is to provide for school dropout prevention and reentry and to raise academic achievement levels by providing grants that �

So, wouldn't a kid who realizes they already mastered the curriculum wonder why they were going to school and then,,,maybe,,,,,,,drop out?
