No Child Left Behind
Posted November 7th, 2007 by lbsasser
I am a junior at East Carolina University and I'm in the education program. For one of my classes we are currently reading the Teacher Education Quarterly. Throughout the book it continues to discuss NCLB and all the criticism the Bush administration is getting. In my experience with education through observing different elementary classrooms, I have noticed the different abilities of all the kids. There is no way all children will be proficient in reading and math by 2014! It's just not possible because all children are required to take the test and succeed. What about the kids with disabilities? How will they ever pass these standardized test? If there are any other opinions about NCLB, I would love to hear them.

I strongly dislike the NCLB
My cousin is one of those children who has lots of dissabilites, and still they manage to push her through school and through grade levels because of the NCLB. She is unable to make any friends because she is a child who is different then the "norm" and the government still makes her struggle through each and every day of school, by herself, with no friends, completely lost. It is not positive and will no way succeed in having every child succeed with the NCLB.
