What is this "NO Child Left Behind Crap?"?
342744
"In America, no child should be left behind. Every child should be educated to his or her full potential. This proposal sets forth the Presidents proposed framework to accomplish that goal. This Administration will work with Congress to ensure that this happens quickly, and in a bipartisan manner"\n\nYet still- this issue remains unsolved.  I completely agree with you- why can't we Americans deal with this- as these are our future generations- we need them, educated and aware of the world around them!

that program is full of shit...they expect too much out of some of the kids just so they can follow the no child left behind motto..... no matter where the money goes...its not good for all of the kids.

I personally have some issues with the No Child Left Behind Act.  Most schools who follow this act will do anything to make sure that each child passes and moves on to the next grade even if it means "fixing" the grades a bit.\nIt's an interesting topic and there is soooo much information on the web about it.  Good Luck with the paper

IMO, standardized testing has been mandated (No Child Left Behind) because cronies of Bush &Co own companies that produce, administer, and score standardized tests.

Although I don't know the whole act word for word, it basically means that no child will be left behind for education opportunities in schools, mainly if they need extra help, tutoring, or study hours. At my children's school, they have after-school tutoring, and a designated study center for an hour to help them improve with their math and reading skills, especially if they are behind in those subjects. My son was behind in both those subjects so we really like the program.

If you are smart enough to get them kind of grades but not smart enough to understand are they good or not then there is only one person to blame--- George Bush for that fricken no student left behind program now any "mo-ron" can get through simple grade school and hold the rest of the kids back to help these "special children" Jeezzz I can believe that I seen this question....What I see is some "cool" kid (judging by the UpPeRcAsE cutisey crap) wanting to get undue praise from some strangers. Well I don’t buy it!

It's also a protest against an education system that is turning pupils into bricks in the society's wall, i.e. is forming the kids into the sort of citizens the state desires, the kind that doesn't question the way the wall is built or the reason for it's existence.  \n\nThe irony is that the young people do need education, not of the sort the system is providing however.\n\nWe don't need no education\nWe don't need no thought control\nNo dark sarcasm in the classroom\nTeachers leave them kids alone\nHey teacher leave them kids alone\nAll in all it's just another brick in the wall\nAll in all you're just another brick in the wall

Just coming out of teacher's college and seeing 4 different schools, I can't say that No Child Left Behind really helps.  I don't see how it helps children to be passed into the next grade if they can't achieve all the requirements of the last one.  I would make exceptions for students who have been identified as having LD or any other disability but not for the few underachievers in the classroom.  It's really hard to have more than one student in a classroom who can't keep up with the work given to them...with such big class sizes, it's no wonder that a teacher can't give them as much support as they really need.

It's the wonderful public "education" system of the USA.\n\n'tis funny no? Actually, no, not at all.

No Child Left Behind is a joke.  The perception is that more money is the solution.  Offer private school vouchers and watch the cost become a fraction of what it does now.

No Child Left Behind requires that a lot of ridiculous standardized testing is done for every student every year.  The tests mean nothing to the students and they often just fill in the ovals and don't even read the questions, but then the government decides which schools are bad and which are good based on these tests.  Not everyone has to take the ASVAB's and ACT's, so they have to have some tests that ALL students are required to take.  You can thank our politicians for this.

No child left behind. Too much emphasis on test scores and not on education. Schools will prepare for these standardized tests for weeks

You know, this kind of info really gets me going. I am old fashioned and it really pains me when people keep pushing things to be accepted by society onto our children. The system was working before, why change it? If it is not broke, don't fix it!\n\nThey push things like "No child left behind" and pushing to get harder curriculum's, but they have not one clue for some idiotic reason that it is at this level that we really need to pay attention to what our children are being taught. Do people not see that society has gotten worse? So obviously things are not working. They need to quit messing things up before it gets so bad that it becomes totally acceptable that our children are being led to believe that it is ok to be immoral because it is what society accepts. Then eventually marriage and the traditional "mom" and "dad" will be phased out.\n\nI have enough to deal with as a parent on issues like evolution and a teacher arguing with my child that it is true.\n\nGot my blood boiling now........I am on board on stopping this, tell me how to help!!!

They figure they've managed to completely destroy all learning by making public school some mundane and full of busy work that we will all be too stupid to pay attention. That was part of their plan in dumbing-down the public school system, which in its very existance is contrary to the Constitution. Giving government the control over our children for 13 years is a really bad idea: it breeds complacent, TV watching zombies...just like our government likes us.

This type of 'mental gibberish' is very indicative of the fundamental problems in the academic world of education.  Better to ask 'hard' questions that require real research, real thinking, and real opportunity for rational critiquing.  This type of question is sadly pathetic. It explains why American school children can't think, can't perform basic math, and are totally afraid of anything labeled 'science'.  But... they sure 'feel good about themselves' and 'their opinions'!
