What do you think of the No Child Left Behind Act?

How do you think the No Child Left Behind Act has affected?

  • the US educational system? Do you think it has been a change for the better or worse?

  • Answer:

    I think it was a good idea in theory, but when it comes to practice, well; that is a different story. I have seen a lot of teachers retire because they did not want to put up with the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. Most of these were awesome teachers! I think if it were funded right it would have been better. Better yet, it should have been tested before fully implemented for the entire United States.

It is a fallacy, Many schools cannot even afford text books.

Its been better in some instances but I have seen many other situations where it became worse. The problem that I have seen is that if you have a "no child left behind" policy, and you are not getting the support that you need from the parents then you either have to leave the child behind or you have to hold back the rest of the class. When I was in school some 25 years ago we had what was called a "resource" teacher who would help those kids who were falling behind. They were too smart for special education but not sharp enough to keep up with the rest of the class. I do not see that anymore.

Judging by the calibre of spelling and grammar on this site, it has had absolutely no effect whatsoever. The USA continues to be the most illiterate country in the world.

It's hard to say, as the government hasn't fully funded the program. Too much money was earmarked for the No Millionaire Left Behind tax cuts.

I don't know about the rest of us, but today in school I had to take ISATs ( Idaho State Achievement Tests). They are a load of crap. One test doesn't show what kind of student you are.

They teach the FCAT and that's about it. Got this from my best friend who is a 20 yr. public school teacher.
