No Child Left Behind By: LaKynDeitrick
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. (:
No Child Left Behind… • 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.
No Child Left Behind… • 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.
No Child Left Behind… • 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.
No Child Left Behind… • 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.
No Child Left Behind… • They do have a legislation that allows special modifications to children with special needs.
No Child Left Behind… • According to the National Assessment of Education Progress, they found most reading and math progress made in the 1970’s.
No Child Left Behind… • The No Child Left Behind act has actually made it harder for states to improve the quality of teaching.
No Child Left Behind… • 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.
No Child Left Behind… • 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.
