NCLB provides all children to be
attended and able to go to school. NCLB, for some, is summed up as a program
that prepares kids for standardized test; so it's like you're being taught to
take that test. People could say that this Act doesn't give others freedom of
choosing what they'd like to learn but rather are being forced to learn the
topics being strongly emphasized (math, reading, ECT...). The government makes
these tests and plan out the study material for the kids in these schools.
Usually to those who aren't meeting the standard tests/quizzes/materials have
more attention than those who do meet these standards. Then what happens, there
is an uneven balance of studying for the children. Others, with different
backgrounds and perspectives see this program as an opportunity for those who
are needy and poor to succeed with good education. Preferably, in my opinion, I
think NCLB is a way to motivate those families who lack motivation and
dedication for their children to do well in school. With the Act, kids have a
chance and it makes it so that they always have an opportunity, and if they
stay in school they will go farther in life. While with the Common Core,
if they slipped up they would just fall out of the system. In America there are
thousands of families who are in need of jobs/money/education. Knowing this,
parents don't really take importance if their children go to college or
stay in school; so many kids slack off in school, with NCLB they are able to
stay in school.
On the other hand the Common Core wouldn’t be as nice to kids within these situations. The Common Core was created when Obama stepped foot into presidency. There was a discussion over how low the standard student’s education is, so the government decided to create a system that allows all the fifty states to teach under the same curriculum. The Federal Government cannot force the states to follow a new curriculum, but it has been pushing its way through. Do the needy still not get left behind in this system? Do they still get help? Well, basically if a child doesn’t fulfill the Common Core’s standard tests (which is more computer based) then they’d need tutors (that requires money). Several children could consider themselves dumb or unable to work like the rest because they simply have a harder time in a certain subject, but what can they do about it? Common core is forcing those who aren’t as great in certain subjects to get good grades in those subjects. This system, for me, isn’t a system that helps a child grow but forces them to speed to levels that could cause anxiety, depression, or children/teens to think of themselves as less because they can’t solve something like a math problem. It is true that American colleges are full of International students, and most students who graduate from high school prefer to work in McDonalds than to pay for about 10 years to the government for their loans, but that’s because both the common core and NCLB need a better tactic when it comes their materials for teaching. Kids/teens should have the right to study what they’d like to pursue when they become older. Instead of extra tutors classes there should be clubs that help kids and teens work with different people and for different things that can enlighten them for their future. Most Americans simply don’t have the mind set of someone that should go to college because there isn’t that initiative with neither NCLB nor Common Core. Each state is responsible for what they teach their kids/teens, therefore there should be actual thought to combine common core and NCLB and see what happens as a result. If there is still that opportunity for children/teens to go to school even if they’re not the richest or smartest according to society, but a little bit more pressure to help those kids/teens to strike upwards, without feeling pressured to be as smart as everybody else, then everyone in the states will know that they’ve achieved the best education system.
