The NCLB was a great program instituted by our president George W Bush in order to increase the education standards among the nation. This act looked like a great tool to improve the quality of the students, but years have proved that this program was not the best idea. The CNLB has a lot of weak points, holes in the system, and the actual focus is not the right one. The No Child left behind program was supposed to puts emphasis on determining which educational programs and practices have been proven effective through rigorous scientific research, Right! This program using a test system in which students are supposed to meet a standard; this results, will tell the teachers were the students will be located the next year. It is not a bad system, but the problem is that in the schools the only thing that principals and teachers are focusing is in making the students to pass this exam. They are not focusing in teach the students, they don’t want them to learn. What they want is to meet certain standards to get government funds. And this is why I think they are not correctly center; they are treating schools like a corporation. They are treating the Principals like CEO, in which whoever got the highest performance is the one that is going to get the highest bonus. A school is not a corporation, but a place to learn and to find what do you like. In addition, they want all the students to achieve academic proficiency at the same level, but they are not forcing some private high schools and home-schools to meet these criteria. These are some things that are not completely right with the system, I believe that this system should be revised, not everything is bad about it. The funds that they have for education are great as the flexibility that they have for parents to choose which school you want for your kid. Instead of removing they should see what is not working correctly and try to improve it in order to America get a better education.
