No Child Left Behind According to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) pamphlet, “the No Child Left Behind Act gives states and cities more control and more flexibility to use resources where they are needed most. Principals and administrators would spend less time filling out forms and more time helping a child learn” (Ten Facts Everyone Should Know about the NCLB).
