From 3rd grade until 10th grade, students must past a standardized test to see if they will pass their grade. Even if they have the NCLB, which stands for “The No Child Left Behind Act, it is a federal law that provides money for extra educational assistance for poor children in return for improvements in their academic progress.” This act was put into place in 2002, and in the article from QUARTZ it says, “American families and public school teachers have been increasingly put-upon by government-mandated annual testing schemes since the advent of No Child Left Behind, the 2002 law that tied public school funding to student performance on standardized math and reading exams.” NCLB is the most recent version of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act.” SO, THIS LAW DOES HELP KIDS MOVE ON TO THE GRADE, SO IT MUST BE A GOOD FIT AND HELP A LOT OF KIDS. No, even with this law, kids could still not move on to the next grade, you must meet certain requirements to move on to the next grade. In my opinion, a test shouldn’t determine your future. Also, with this act, kids still must pass the test, so there is no way out of it. If you fail the 10th grade FSA, you are not allowed to graduate until you pass the test.
