No Child Left behing act? please only if u know about it?

Question

I have recieved a paper of transfering hs...well I want to but do u they transfer anybody? is it sure?

Answer 1

If your high school did not "make the grade" concerning outcomes on the End-of-Grade state tests, they have to offer to let you transfer to a "better" school at no cost to you. You can opt out and remain at your current school, if you wish, unless your school is being closed due consistent poor performance.

Best of luck to you,

Have an AWESOME day,

Answer 2

The only way you can transfer HS is if you make the choice by filling out the choices brochure. If you don't want to transfer then do nothing. When you sign up to be transferred,, the school district will advise you of two choices. Then you get to choose 1 of the 2. That's the down side to No Child Left Behind. Are you part of LAUSD? If so which district?

Answer 3

It is supposed to be that all children will recieve the help they need in the subjects that they are not passing. However I have a 15 year old daughter and she has passed several years even though her grades were not the best. It used to be if you failed so many classes you did not pass. This seems to not be the case here in NC. I would also like ot add that from what I see it just depends on who you are as to whether or not you recieve the assistance. The quarter or semester is already over by the time I know my daughter has failed a class!

Answer 4

No Child Left Behind is as confusing to schools as it is to the people who wrote the law. Its purpose was to make sure that students had the best quality education available, but what has happened instead is that even high quality school systems are slumping. If under-achieving students are not helped and they are sent to another (higher achieving) school, only a fool would think that the higher achieving school would stay that way for very long. In reality, the law was George W. Bush's sneaky way of destroying public education so his supporters on the religious right could instead use tax money to send their kids to church sponsored schools.

Answer 5

I hate this, NO child left behind Act.. my son is going in to 6Th but last year when he was in school he could not read 3 grd But they passed him on this past year we home schooled him and he just did placement test and is at 5grd reading and math still have a way to go but my son is also dyslexia and adhd to me it is just a easy class t put theme and just let theme step away UNLESS you get a really good teacher that cares BUT out of 5 reg teacher 3 IEP teachers on;y one went to class for dyslexia and that was for my son.. I guess that is how I feel do to we had a bad time with it. but if the kids can not read what kind of job will they get when they get out of school.. there has to be a better way.. like more teaching of eye therapy (WORKS GREAT) and other reading problem .. that can be helped if done right.

Answer 6

What state are you in? If they have no child left behind, we are led to believe that ALL will receive a free and appropriate education. I am in Nevada. We have it and kids get passed that are barely literate. I have five kids and I've SEEN it. It's wrong. Even some students graduating from Ivy League Colleges can't answer basic history questions, write an appropriate sentence, etc. It's sad. I am scared to grow old with a generation of partial illiterates.

About School Education

Answer 8

No Child Left Behind, for those of you answering earlier, is NOT specific to special education. It is about EVERYBODY.

Schools are transferring students to try to balance their populations and minimize what NCLB does to their ratings.

NCLB breaks kids down by RACE, SEX, LANGUAGE, SPECIAL NEEDS, DISCIPLINE ISSUES, ATTENDANCE, and others.

If you fit into a category (especially minority race, special needs, attendance issues, discipline issues, etc.), then you may be getting transferred to a high school with a smaller group fitting your profile.

The rule is that if less than 95% of the students in a SUB-CATEGORY, with 24 or more students, don't make proficiency, the ENTIRE SCHOOL FAILS. If a school has 24 or more people in a race, language, or special needs category, that category can make or break the school if only 2 of those students in that small sub-category DON'T make proficiency on their state exams. However, if there are 23 kids in a category, they don't count as a sub-group. Every school now wants to have a large majority group, and for the category breakdowns, not have more than 23 kids in any group!

The numbers amplify the impact of smaller sub-groups on the school's "performance." The majority race group in regular ed classes is pretty much ignored (whatever race that happens to be). Let's say your school has 1000 students (being a high school), and 700 kids fit the majority race/language group in regular ed. Let's say you have 50 kids in special education who are required to take the grade-level state test. Let's say there are 26 kids who are, um, let's say Asian, or something. (I am NOT picking on Asians, I just picked a smaller group out of thin air. This could be Hispanic, or African-American, or Caucasian, or whatever.) Of those 26 Asians, lets say 3 are also in the special education category.

If ONE of those three Asian special ed kids does not make proficiency, he/she counts against BOTH categories.

In the numbers above, 35 of the regular ed majority ethnic group kids can fail the school's specific proficiency goal for that year(that is set by state formulas to be different for each school). That is plenty of breathing room.

Only 2 special ed kids can fail to make proficiency, or the whole school does not make "Adequate Yearly Progress" or AYP.

Only 1 Asian kid can fail to make proficiency.

If one of the Asian special ed kids fails to make proficiency, then only one other special ed kid can fail, and no other Asians.

So, let's say another Asian kid's family goes on a trip during state testing time, or he/she gets sick and fails to attend...and his/her test is invalidated. Or one more Asian kid just doesn't make proficiency. The ENTIRE school fails to make AYP, even if EVERY OTHER MEASURE in EVERY OTHER GROUPING is acceptable.

You may be getting transferred to help the school you are leaving keep their smaller sub-groups below 24 students. It is not a matter of what they think your score will be, but where you live, etc.

This is starting to turn into the same sort of trading that Major League sports teams do.

Yes, NCLB promotes racial profiling, and punishes schools for having diversity in race, special needs, and/or languages. Eventually, if it stays in place, there will be "unofficial" segregation.

Answer 9

This is a program that helps kids with either learning disabilities or kids who are a little behind. In this instance no child will be left behind when it comes to his/her education.

Answer 10

I have re-read this three times and still have little idea of what you are asking. Maybe you better transfer high schools.
