In 2002, President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind act into law. As a requirement of that
2014 was the year prescribed under the current No Child Left Behind Act that required all students to be proficient in the current testing curriculum. Obama plans on removing that goal altogether and instead making sure that every student is able to be prepared for college after graduating from high school.
Obama wants to revise the law by the time school starts, and says that we can’t afford to cut any spending on education. He said that he wants to make education more of a priority in America and make our school systems more competitive with other countries.
Overall, his goal is to make sure that bad teachers are able to be removed and good teachers are able to be rewarded. He also wants to expand the grant program that is already in place which gives rewards to states for reforming their education programs.
If we are already so behind in schooling then how is making a new testing goal for kids who are already slacking going to make schooling for kids anybetter in this country. there are already to many things to worry about in school without having to worry about testing that is required by state law that just adds and stress just makes it so kids find someother way to releave stress by smoking and drinking do we really want that kids who are alcholics before there out of school i dont think so. stop trying to make testing for kids when really we have to get kids motivated not demotivated.
