The No Child Left Behind act started in 2001, ever since this act has become more and more used and it’s helping younger children, whether they are choosing a school or taking a test. The NCLB website was created to help parents choose the right path for their child; it is also aimed towards children gaining better math test scores and improving their reading skills. With an entire section about the law passed in 2001, the NCLB website really goes deep inside and helps parents choose wisely for their child.

So much press is being pushed together by other sources and NCLB’s website is the first to publish this information so that you don’t need to scramble through a bunch of jibberish. Are you a parent that is concerned about what school he or she is going too? Do you hate to think that maybe they aren’t getting the proper education they deserve? This is all aimed towards your loved ones.

The act was passed a while ago but it is much more involved now days since times are fairly rough. Before this act was passed many parents were unaware of their child’s test scores. Teachers weren’t forced to call if they were failing, but now with accountability tests being issued and the act advising teachers to contact parents if the child is in danger of failing is


Takeaways
  • NCLB was signed in 2002 by President Bush.
  • Many parents had no idea if there child was failing, this act forces teachers to let them know.
  • The law re-authorized a number of federal programs targeted at education reform.

It should be called No Political Opportunity Left Behind. Bush calling himself the Education President is like his brother Jeb calling himself the Education Governor. Who else would cut funding on his own education initiative but Pres. Clueless?
