do you think "No child Left Behind Act" is helping us?

Question

its seriously joke, i meant, it kind of pointless right now. i mean, look at europe, the europeans can spoke in like 5 lanuagues, because of what they have learned when they were in elementary while we only learned, specifically one lanuague, which is english!

i think, we should open up in our education, instead of focus on one little things, such as general education.

i think we should allows students to choose of what they want to becomes, instead the classes that IS ONLY PREPARES them to go to college which our scholars thinks they "MUST GO TO COLLEGE, or bust" you know?

so i think no child left behind act is joke anyway, waste of our money.

sorry if im being not clearly in english grammar, because it is not my frist lanuague, thank you.

Answer 1

I am not going to speak at length. But, look at the way it works. If you do poorly on badly worded and unfair tests you lose funding. So, what we are saying is rich schools with parent support, can have all the money they need. But, all you poor schools, give it back. We are going to take your money then shut you down if you don't improve.

Answer 2

I would agree that the no child left behind act is not an effective piece of legislation. It is nice political sound-bytes and photo ops but does not provide funding to enact some of the basic ideas. It adds yet another layer of bureaucracy to an already overly bureaucratic educational system and sets up another set of evaluation criteria that go on top of existing state criteria and often school district criteria. Additionally, colleges set the real criteria and have far more of an impact on the educational structure than the federal government.
I would also agree that college is not the answer for everyone. There are, and will continue to be numerous people who will be happy, productive and successful without a college degree. As I see it academics have designed the educational system to reflect the values that they hold and make students achieve in the areas in which they have achieved while eliminating the things that they cannot or choose not to do.

I like Bush, but I'll admit I do not like the No Child Left Behind Act. I thought it was good at first, but then I saw the affects of it. I graduated from a really small high school. Chemistry was the hardest class and very few people took it. Now all students are required to take it, so if the teacher keeps teaching at a difficult level like before, then everyone fails. So the value of education will decrease so everyone can graduate. It's a terrible plan, it needs proper funding before it can become effective.

If a kid did poorly on a baseball team, his Dad would be outside throwing balls for him to catch and pitching so he would learn to hit. He wouldn't want his kid to be "behind" yet he isn't worried that his kid is academically behind! I hear parents say soooo often; "Just let him be a kid!"
I have taught 27 years and seldom have had parents who sit down every night to help their kids do their homework, past about 2nd grade.
Second of all, where is mandatory summer school? Why are we pushing these kids on to the next grade when they didn't pass the previous one?! You flunk, you go back and do it again until you get it!
Third, quit "killing" the gifted and smart ones who have to sit and wait half their lives for those who haven't figured it out yet. We are also loosing our competitive edge because we just can't accept the fact that some kid is smarted than ours. We have to have "democracy" where everyone has the same advantage even if they cut class or their mother teaches in the next room. Everyone wants their kid to be the "star" palayer, the most talented and the best - that's why parents write reports for their kids and argue with the coaches and principals .I have seen such injustices working in the public school.
Your English gets the meaning across- more power to you!

Haha! it really is uncomplicated to settle for as sarcasm, in spite of the indisputable fact that the reality is, fairly in all likelihood. some human beings are not doing to boot as others, so enable's make all of them war. it really is an similar as oftentimes taking place well being Care. The Robin Hood result: Rob from the wealthy, supply to the undesirable. particularly of 'wealthy', replace it with 'demanding-operating', particularly of 'undesirable', replace it with 'lazy'. That sums up our grand authorities-public college gadget!!
