Topic > The Importance of the No Child Left Behind Act

Children are taught many new concepts and ideas in a variety of different ways. Every teacher's dream is to give every child a quality education. Children who attend school deserve a quality education and should be inspired by a great teacher. With thousands of American schools labeled “failing,” the No Child Left Behind Act may be a law every school needs to succeed. The purpose of this article is to delve deeper into the No Child Left Behind Act and how the accountability subgroup testing provisions can play an important role on a student's education responsibilities. The document also focuses on the information parents receive to actually know how their students are performing in the classroom and whether each student's performance falls within state compliance with NCLB. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) is a federal social program that was signed into law by former President George W. Bush. This program is designed to improve each student's education and achievement within the American school system. With so many children continuing to score low on tests, the No Child LeftBehind Act is proving to be not an effective tool for students. Many parents feel this law is restrictive, teachers are not providing the necessary resources children need, and the program is not meeting established expectations for improving students' grades. The learning goals for all students should be at the same level, but they seem unattainable. That said, there are some who do not believe the NoChild Left Behind Act has proven beneficial. However, there are some who believe that this program will improve their children's ability to read... middle of paper... the changes made to improve the quality of education that children will continue to undergo. The NCLB law was created with good intentions, but I question the commitment to ensuring that all students receive the opportunity to achieve. Once those with the authority to make necessary changes to the program commit to improving the education system, the test scores of students attending schools that support the program should begin to see an improvement. This should not be an option, whether or not to fix a system that has the capacity to provide children across America the chance to succeed. The most important task ahead is to ensure that we are making progress in education so that we can compete with those who are thriving educationally, such as children from abroad. Children deserve a fair opportunity for a bright future and education is the key to this success.
