Recently Obama has freed ten states
from no child left behind. He suggests
that we need to measure the students by other means due to an ineffective system. The article depicts that unfortunately by
2014 the children are not and will not meet the standards set forth.
He asked the schools to come up
with a plan to reach all children, not just the unsuccessful students. Obama also requests that the effective schools
aid those less fortunate schools.
Why should you read this? We are all effected by this. I chose this article, because it
hits home. I have two children currently
in our school system and watch my oldest daughter occasionally struggle with
her courses. The current system has
programed many teachers to teach toward this damn test. This infuriates me! She has never read Nathaniel Hawthorne or
even Edgar Allen Poe! This is discouraging,
as a parent to know that, she has missed an education that should cultivate our
children. Instead, this system trains them
to be on an assembly line. Teachers
taught because they loved their careers now it appears this is just another
job. Shame on Americans for watching our
children fail.
