Implication

This post, although it is shown as my last has been one developing for a long time. In this post I am trying to show what potentially could happen if the two different sides on this topic do not come to agree or convince the other what is right for everyone. As I have said I do not feel like their are two real opinions on this topic because everyone wants what is best for children. The people who want to continue to let the No Child Left Behind legislation run the education system have to be convinced that it hasn't worked and needs to be reworked. This may seem like a very bias statement, but there is nothing else that can be done to bring people wanting to keep the legislation and people wanting to change it together.
If we continue to leave the education system the way it is and there is no change then there will be many consequences. More importantly to me their will be many consequences for my family. Since the legislation calls for all student to be proficeint in reading and math by 2014 there are going to be many schools that will not make the increases necessary to reach this goal. When a school does not make the increases necessary then the schools are put on probation. This can cause principals, teachers, and other staff members to lose their job. Also, if the legislation is not changed then their will be a continued decrease in funding for schools who need it to make it better for the students. The fine arts category will also continue to experience a decrease in funding and perhaps eventually be taken away completely so the schools can focus on meeting the goals they must for the legislation. Schools will continue to teach to the test and kids who do not test well will continue to do bad and be deemed by the government as "not proficient" if the legislation remains the same. As you can tell things will more than likely continue to get worse if there isn't an understanding come to. Everyone wants the best for children it is just what different people see as "the best" in terms of education.
