NCLB

The no child left behind act is to examine the academic progress of students and to test if they meet the standards of the level they should be at. Students from grade 3-8 take standardized testse every year. These standardized tests are mandated by the state. If the school district does not do well, the school suffers the consequences. In my opinion I do not think its fair to determine how "smart" a child is by a standardized tests. The truth is that some students do not test well. With this law I'm sure there are teachers out there that feel that they can't teach their children what they should really be learning, but what is on these standardized exams. The NCLB has good intentions, for everybody to get equal education, but I just don't think this is a fair way to evaluate where a child stands.
