No_Child_Left_Behind

No Child Left Behind No Child Left Behind On January 8, 2002 President George Bush signed the “No Child Left Behind” Act (No 2002). This law was made to help the country’s educational system. The law revolutionizes the old system. A few of the most popular and biggest changes are: Improving academic achievement of the disadvantaged, higher quality teachers, making all schools up to date on technology, giving schools more flexibility and accountability, and giving a choice to students of their school (No 2002). Because the law is so vast, this paper will explore the flexibility and accountability changes and how they allow the students and parents to choice their schools. One of the new laws gives states more flexibility with what they spend their allotted federal money on in their schools. For instance, one district might need a technology upgrade while another needs teacher improvement. Before this law, schools had to go through mounds of paper work and red tape to get the different funding. The president believes that each area knows the improvement needed and this will make it easier to get (No 2002). Not only do the schools get flexibility in their finances but also in their standards.
