No Child Left Behind: Daizha Lankford

in today's society, everybody has been trying to establish that poverty, and education have a very close line of fitting together. The U.S. Poses that the less financially wealthy the child is, the less education it will receive. So is standardized testing really the best way to determine if a child is good enough? "Every Child Achieves gets big questions right. It preserves annual testing in reading and math for grades three through eight (and once in high school), so that parents and policymakers have a benchmark for student performance. It also requires states to disaggregate student test results by major racial and ethnic categories, gender, as well as their English learner, disability and low-income status, so that schools are held accountable for helping all children succeed and cannot camouflage poor results for some."
