A Teacher's Guide to Fixing No Child left Behind by usedgov

Although No Child left Behind has done many things to help the education system in the U.S., the education in our country is still declining. The video seems to be very geared towards the Obama administrations plans to imporve No Child Left Behind. I found the video to be overall pretty biased, it neglected to acknowledge the idea that not all teachers are qualified or have the means to teach student effectively. The video stated that teachers were recieving the short end of the stick under the unreformed NCLB, but education and teaching is a mutual interaction between students and teachers, and whether or not that teacher is able to appeal to their students is their responsibility. I don't think teachers are solely to blame for the education problem in our society, many times students and parents are the problem. If people want to drop out of school, then that is there choice, but in that case they should be aware of what consequences and future troubles they will encounter because of that choice.
