NCLB is a federal law and mandated English, Math, Science at improving the U.S. education in middle and high school by
certain standards. There are some supporters and opponents of NCLB.
Supporters of NCLB agree this law because the emphasis on test results will improve the quality of public education for all students, and accountability to
educational standards.
However, opponents feel that this law hasn’t been effective and really improving education in public education, especially in high school.
The standardize testing, which forced teacher only teaches students “how to pass the exam” in class rather than “how to gain the knowledge.”
As a teacher who teaches in the United States, how to find the balance between help students pass the standardize testing and pass the knowledge?
It will be a issue that weather you are the teacher in the United States to think about.
