Ten Facts Every Parent Should Know about the No Child Left Behind Act = Diez datos que cada padre debe saber sobre La Ley. Que Ningun Nino Se Quede Atras.
Department of Education, Washington, DC.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is President George W. Bush's education reform law passed by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. This flier, in both English and Spanish, details 10 facts concerning NCLB to inform parents as to the goals of the Act and how they will affect their child's school. The flier highlights how the Act: (1) gives schools more money; (2) holds schools accountable for results; (3) gives states and cities more control and more flexibility to use resources where they are needed most; (4) gives parents report cards so they can see which schools are succeeding and why; (5) focuses on teaching methods that have been proven to work; (6) provides funding to help teachers learn to be better teachers; (7) spends more than one billion dollars to help children learn to read; (8) may allow parents to transfer their child to a better public school if the state says the child's current school needs to improve; (9) may also provide a child with free tutoring if the state says the child's school needs to improve and the child is eligible; and (10) requires schools to test children every year in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and at least once in high school, to help the child, parents, and teachers know how well the child is learning and when he or she needs extra help.
