No Child Left Behind: Truths and Consequences

NCLB is all about money. It's big money for the test publishers, and a way for private schools (who don't have to give tests) to grab your tax money.

For most americans celebirty gossip and american idol is more important than their children's education. Get out there and make a positive change for our education!

Part of the reason for NCLB is because throughout recent history, if some school is doing poorly, just give them more money and it'll fix everything. Now we have the opposite. If your school doesn't perform, they yank federal funding. Simple.

thank you so much for posting this. This really helps me understand whats going on in our education system right now.

NCLB scared me away from teaching in a public school. During my student teaching in 2007, I hated what I saw and what schools had become due to "teaching to the test" and standardized approaches to education.

My wife is a teacher. We both agree this was a bad idea, and won't fix the problem. Parents need to be more active in educating their child at home first, and not reliant on the school teachers so much. The kids teacher can't come to every students house every night to read with them.

No Child Left Behind= Children left Behind. When i was in school we had to take test after test; We lost almost a whole month in instruction a year because of testing. Stress from the adminstrators trickles down to the teachers, and from there it goes like wildfire to the students. EVERYBODY IS IN MAYHEM!!! SCRAP IT!!

Great video! I hope this will open th eyes of people that are unclear on the NCLB. This is a true representation of the teachers and students, they are what matters in the education process.

YOU ROCK!! nice video
