Put an end to No Child Left Behind

This could also be that the media does not report on this topic also...well except when it is bad. I say before we make conclusion lets us look at the facts, reports, graphs ect... before we make a decision on this topic. Show my the prof and I will give you a yes, the program sucks. Or no, it is actually working.

ALSO, the kids go to school 8-3 that is, 7 hours a day what about the HOME work. That is where 99.9% of the problem is. The parents do not care enough to keep the kids on track. And, the parents are never home to enforce either.

I agree NCLB, has had many shortcomings. In some areas it is destroying school systems and students, and in other areas it is giving benefits to school that clearly do not need them. Though being the optimistic individual that i am, NCLB is not a failure. We see the mistakes that it has presented and the positives it has brought about. It has brought about a teacher accountability, and puts pressure on students which i believe is needed in the class room. It has ruled out the responsibly of parents and their role in the school system which is wrong.

It is tough to say where NCLB will be going but i have faith and confidence in that a new administration will bring in new ideas and see different ways to improve NCLB. I don't believe that we should give up or even see this as a failure, it is a work in progress that needs to be reformed.

no child left behind is another perfect example of how the government gets involved in something and causes the exact opposite effect it intends.

This policy puts unnecessary strain on teachers and students, especially those with learning disabilities, and shifts the educational focus from gaining knowledge and experience to test-taking. It rewards those schools that don't need help and punishes the ones that do by taking away their funding when they don't meet the ridiculous testing standards.
