(b) I believe that the No Child Left Behind truely in ineffective, so our education system really does need to think of alerternatives to this act. The major problem is some students are being pushed from grade to grade without actually be proficient in the subject. First, students with below average test scores need more one on one attention, or time set aside where they go to a different classroom to learn. By giving them more attention and time students may achieve more. Secondly, while I understand that most teachers do their best to teach their students, their should be some accountability placed on the teachers. If their students aren't preforming well, the teachers need to take a look at how they're teaching and what they're teaching. If a teacher altered their lesson plans to give more individualized attention, they may see better results from their students.

  1. I agree that the teachers need to take more responsibility to look at how their teaching is effecting their students good and bad. The individual attention helps just about every student and if they were struggling with certain students that will help them to connect and help those students.

  2. I agree, a lot of students are not ready for the next grade level yet they still continue on without a good understanding of what they were taught. The teachers should seek extra help for those students they see falling behind. It's better to catch it sooner rather than later.
