No Child Left Behind

While looking over the No Child Left Behind website I have my likes and dislikes on both of these issues. With No Child Left Behind, I feel that it is good to test students to see where they stand academically. I don’t think it is right to distribute a test to students that is not on par with the student’s grade level or a test not written by people in the teaching profession. My opinion is the greatest way to achieve success is to stay constant in what you do. By making test that are not constant it makes a very difficult task for the students and teachers. Every school is different from the next. These tests could be very easy to the students that are in school districts with money and could be very difficult for Abbott school districts.

Some students are not good test takers. Some students can not put there thoughts on paper. Maybe these tests should be made by the school district and given out to just there school level. No Child Left Behind is more of a statistic then a helping tool. Math and English will get a student far but by adding other subjects it just makes it more difficult to learn. Students should be graded on these two subjects (math and English) and leave the other subjects for the children to enjoy and experience.
