Has No Child Left Behind Improved Public Education?

Has No Child Left Behind Improved Public Education?

In January of 2002, President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act, which penalizes or rewards schools based on students’ performance on standardized tests. Nearly seven years later the questions surrounding this controversial legislation are as pressing as ever. Does No Child Left Behind make the grade?

Next question in Politics

As a child who has grown up under the influence of No Child Left Behind, I am conflicted at best concerning its rightness. From my moral standpoint, I find it reprehensible, but then I will really only gradauate this year because of the Ohio Graduation Test. As someone who has always had high standardized test scores, and low grades, it is difficult for me to form an opinion regarding this debate, and that bothers me.
