Is the "No Child Left Behind Act" Working?
Most parents want the very best for their children. In today's world, that is unlikely if the child does not possess an adequate education. A new study raises concerns about the No Child Left Behind Act, although students are doing better on state verbal and math tests--and, the gap between white and minority student scores is closing. We're probably going to have to pay teachers more. And the money to close an educational divide that has been perpetuated for years must finally be spent. That is, if the problem is truly to be fixed. The real answers lay in whether or not we are really ready to put forth the long-term money and resources necessary to address the problem or if we are going to continue to hide behind the excuse of bad legislation.
