No Child Left Behind
Introduction
Every parent wants to have the best education possible. State and local government have always been responsible for education from kindergarten through 12th grade. The federal; government was more for equality of education. The federal government, state and local authorities have all proposed ways to make education better for everyone. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act was proposed just for that reason. Even though it was proposed by the federal government, the states still set the standards for the testing. Since the proposal and enforcement of the act, there has been a great debate about the effectiveness; however there is data that shows the constructiveness of this act outweighs the pessimistic views. I chose to write about the NCLB because it affects all school, including the one my children attend, and there is a great debate on the effectiveness. I will be mentioning how this act came to be, the intentions of the act, the negative and positive
