It's not fair, my grandson work's hard for his grades. I am so glad I don't have kid's in school anymore but I listen to my daughter and it is a fight every year for her. |
No Child Left Behind was a nationwide thing that states chose to participate in or not. If a state chose to participate, it does not only apply to certain students, it affects everyone. Schools don't get the extra funding unless there is a significant increase in these test scores. What is absolutely retarded about it is that the "good" schools with almost perfect scores are being placed on probation because they didn't have a "significant" increase. How do you have a significant increase on a score of 95%?!?!?!?!?! See what I mean... not even those people in charge of this outrageous program can do math!! It drives me crazy.
