No Child Left Behind Introduction The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was signed in 2002 by President Bush as a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. One of the main issues with the No Child Left Behind Act is that legislators are looking at the law from a standpoint of not being in the classroom and seeing how the act is implemented each and every day. When a new education act or law is passed, the legislators review the law and then if everyone agrees, it is…

The city of Chicago had been awarded twenty million dollars in federal grant money over a period of three years to improve the lowest performing schools.…

attend school for 16,380 hours. School attendance is becoming more stringent and it appears to be inversely affecting American standardized test scores. The school systems of the United States have been so blinded by baseless statistics that they have fallen behind on their steps to success. Countries like Finland are having students excel on standardized tests, yet they are in school for a far shorter period. If America wants to live up to the standards of being a great country, then why…

Technology is something we all use now in our time. It has been progressing so much that now everyone, everywhere are using it. One new place technology is being applied now is in the classrooms and in the education system in America. The use of technology in the education system has now led people to question whether or not technology is going to help or hurt students in education.

it Really Worth it? Students hate tests, it is a concept understood by a majority of American children ranging from seven to seventeen. Students are dropping out of school because they are not learning anything from their teachers. Teachers focus schooling on students getting the right answer, rather than teaching how to work problems correctly.

Is ‘Just Passing’ Failing? Would our nation’s society be effected if American colleges changed from the grade scale to the pass/fail scale? I believe it would. I think the current system being implemented by U.S. universities has several advantages to a pass/fail scale. My prime example would be in the case of future educators. Other examples would include future attorneys and doctors. I would also argue that students’ work ethics might be drastically altered. To change the current higher…
