ESSA will also empower state and local…

Almost every American in the working class, or middle class, thinks that we, as todays students, will not be bale to reach the American dream because of the society we live in. Government programs like the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act punishes schools for having lower test scores than the rest of the schools in the nation. This is not even close to right because the schools are forced to take these tests by the government themselves, and the get punished for something…

The No Child Left behind Act is a bill that was passed by President George W. Bush on January 8, 2002. It is a revised law that was originally passed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 that was named the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This law that was passed by President George W. Bush was designed to help improve student performance across America.

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…

The deadline for reauthorization for the No Child Left Behind Act is nearing fast, so we as a country must decide, “Should the…

If a teacher does not wish to be reprimanded, his or her students will all have to do well on the tests. In order to be sure that this happens, teachers will teach to the tests. They will focus not on creative writing, but rather on the type of writing that the test scorers will want to see. Instead of taking field trips, students will be practicing analogies and test taking skills. Literature will not be read intensively, but will instead be skimmed for the main points in order to answer…
