For those of you who are unaware of what NCLB stands for it is known as the No Child Left Behind Act. I recently began attending graduate school to become a special education teacher. As I began to progress through my program I became aware of the fact that the NCLB act was not all it was cracked up to be.
Why is that you may ask, it is because there are so many ambiguous requirements that ask teachers to teach to the standardized testing system and as a result educated children and the actual process of education are on the decline. Teachers no longer educate, the give facts that students will have to know to pass the test because the test is the bottom line.
