  1. “ No Child Left Behind Act”

    Author: The New York Times editor Recap by: Thomas Majusiak

  2. Article Summary

    First introduced by Johnson administration as the Elementary and Secondary education act. Major overhaul of act by the Bush administration. States were encouraged to give standardized tests to students by grade level. President George W. Bush worked closely with democrats on this act. Standardized tests given by states measured a student’s proficiency by grade level in math and reading.

  3. Article Summary

    Obama administration planned for major leap in march 2010. states were to focus more on students’ academic progress Leaders dismissed a 2014 deadline for states to bring every American child to academic proficiency. In March 2011, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told congress that more than 80,000 of 100,000 schools in America were were labeled failing according to this act. Obama administration introduced the race for the top grant to help public schools reach the goal.

  4. My Reaction

    I feel that the Obama administration has made a long stride in reforming the original bill. It is a good thing that students are tested on academic progress rather than proficiency. We, as a nation, still have a long way to go in reforming this act. The nation is far behind other countries in the academic realm. The article was very interesting to read.
