My gripe with No Child Left Behind
Posted by Craig under Education
My gripe with ‘No Child Left Behind’ is the foolish notion that all children can be grade level proficient. Not all children are born with the same abilities. This is fact! Does all college football players make the pros? No, not all athletes are pro material. Not all high school graduates can meet the admission requirements to MIT. Does this fact ‘leave behind’ some prospective MIT students? No! Maybe there talent was not 1300 on the SAT but talent in music. They would have preferred a great music college like Berklee College of Music. Being less ‘academic’ does not make one less of a person! It is time to scrap the silly notions of NCLB.
