How do you feel about NCLB ? Bush's- NO Child Left Behind Act passed in 2002?

Answer 1

This act was an incredibly weak attempt to fix a vastly sick educational system. Its core problems is threatening budget cuts to ailing schools who fail to meet basic requirements. The irony here is that taking these funds hurts the students, not necessarily the facility, and further causes these schools to plummet into worse test scores and a lower quality of education. What NCLB needs is accountability measures which would ensure three things: 1) the money these schools have is adequate for the schools needs, 2) the money these schools receive is being spent properly, 3) Schools that continue to fail to meet requirements will receive instruction on how to help their students better.

Answer 2

This is just a personal opinion-from what I can see and hear about the children-some children are being pushed through the system just to make the no child left behind act a success. I don't think this is what it was suppose to do but as in politics, it is important to make this program a success, but once again, are the statistics right or just a headline to make the act a success. Smaller classrooms, more assistants to help the children understand their work. A lot of times, I see homework being piled on children and parents left to make the child understand the homework. In our day-parents are not up on the new processes and time is limited, I don't think that is because parents don't care, but trying to work and make ends meet to tuff and if you spend all night on homework-where is the family time?
