As I was going through couple of topics, I found an article about No child left behind (NCLB). After I read this article, I found its interesting and worth reading it. First of all, what is No child left behind, what are its benefits, and how it will affects student, schools and teachers. Since the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law took effect in 2002, it has had a sweeping impact on U.S. public school classrooms. No child left Behind attempts to improve performance of American K-12 schools by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools, as well as providing parents more flexibility in choosing which schools their children will attend.
NCLB supports standards-based education reform, which is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. It affects what students are taught, the tests they take, and the training of their teachers and the way money is spent on education.
According to supporters, these goals help teachers and schools realize the significance and importance of the educational system and how it affects the nation. Opponents to this law base their objections to the accountability by stating that the punishments only hurt the schools more and do not contribute to the improvement of the students. If the schools and teachers do not live up to the accountability standards, they may choose to move their children to different schools in the area.
Reading this article tells us about the government being concern about improvement of Education system of United State of America? Even though, it sounds better for future of student but What about the schools which failure to meet NCLB's inflexible goals, and literally that school will be publicly labeled as failure.
