No Child Left Behind

By: LaKyn Deitrick

No Child Left Behind…

• George W. Bush created and “published” the No Child Left Behind Act.

• He impacted so many children and made things happen. (:


• Education is no longer about money.• Compliance and Excuses.• Its about improving the quality of the

education we offer to the students.• The focus is the students, not the system.


• 40% White • 12% Black• 16% Hispanic • This is a rate of the forth grade students who

read proficient levels in school.• This is a concern, this is what Bush wants to

change.


• Along with the no child left behind act, they developed more testing like the PSSA’s.

• Its not to punish children, or teachers.• They want to know if students can learn what

the state has decided they should know.


• Some people damn the NCLB act, others praise it.

• 16% - Want to get rid of the law.• 41% - Say keep with good changes.• 21% - Keep as is.• 21% - Not enough knowledge to vote.


• They do have a legislation that allows special modifications to children with special needs.


• According to the National Assessment of Education Progress, they found most reading and math progress made in the 1970’s.


• The No Child Left Behind act has actually made it harder for states to improve the quality of teaching.


• This act and the people involved with it believe that in 2014, 100% of children will score proficient.

• Me: I personally believe that this will not happen. There still isn’t a good enough amount of test scores that will prove that in three more years students will score proficient.


• In Texas, the special education students didn’t need to take the special testing like the PSSA’s.

• There was more and more students coming into the special education classes.

• They were planning on putting students into the classes so they don’t have to take the test.
