No Child Left Behind
The "No Child Left Behind" law is what George Bush created 10 years ago for children in primary and secondary public schools education. According to the article that I've read, 10 states are being freed from some of the "No Child Left Behind" rules. "After waiting far too long for Congress to reform No Child Left Behind, my administration is giving states the opportunity to set higher, more honest standards in exchange for more flexibility,". This is quoted from, President Barack Obama. The 10 states that are being freed from the rules are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. I think this article is worth reading because if you care about a child's education like me you would like to know what is going on and to understand the new things that are going to effect our younger generation.

I came across a blog about the "No Child Left Behind" law that was passed by George W. Bush about ten years ago. I am not really sure what to make out of this blog. It states there is an article yet I don't find any information on how to get to the article that was read and it doesn't mention any title of the article itself. People don't neccesarily need to read an article to know about the law that was passed or how it is going to affect our children. I do, however, know about this law and understand the standards that are being placed in schools. I feel that this is a great thing because children can be filled with so much knowledge at a young age that it will make a difference in our world tomorrow. The states that are being granted flexibilty is because these states have com up with a different way to measure children rather that tests alone. President Obama wants our children to reach their full potential and what better way to figure that out than by asking our parents, teachers, and kids themselves.
