Making Progress

The first chapter is almost ready to be examined by my advisor. At one point in the process I felt like all these authors and all these major points were cutting in line- they all wanted me to write about them next... I had to tell them to get back in the outline and have a little patience.
Now I am just wondering how close I am to having the right tone, voice, and level of professionalism. Here is a little piece of it:
The educational system in the United States of America empowers adults from the policy makers and politicians, parents and business leaders, to the teachers and administrators. These stakeholders share data, create action plans, and design accountability systems. Policies like No Child Left Behind have increased teacher stress levels and influenced decisions on time usage within the classroom (Costa & Kallick, 2004). If teachers feel the need to reduce instruction in non-tested curriculum like social studies curriculum, how will they find time to include student reflection (Newberg-Long, 2010)?
OK back to work!
