These two sites are perfect and the most obvious places to find truthful, good information and the canidates view on education and the No Child Left Behind legislation. On these sites one can see the candidates full education plans in a clear concise manor. One may recognize that both canidates are for the reformation of the No Child Left Behind legislation.

This site is founded by the National Education Association. It provides a view point from those in the education field and those who are solely interested in educating children. This groups call for change is expressed on this site and should be respected and noted. This site shows many of the problems in education and how they feel it should be changed.

This site is a great site for those looking for a non bias site about the plan. This site is one that shows the reason for the plan and how it affects those in the education field. It states that everyone will be held accountable in this plan. This site does not seem to be created for the purpose of arguing for or against the plan, just to show who is affected by it and how they are going to be affected with the plan.

In order to develop an opinion on the No Child Left Behind legislation one needs to fully understand the plan. This is one site that can help one learn about the plan and all the details it entails. Allthough Wikipedia is not the most intellectually backed site the No Child Left Behind page does a good job of explaining the plan and showing the 8 year history of it. One can see the positives and negatives of the plan and how it effects different people.

This site is a pretty bias site on what is wrong with the plan. It gives good information about the plan, like the wiki site, but is in strong support of repealing this plan. This site strongly discusses the negative effects of the plan and puts down almost eveything about it. Regardless of the biasness of this site it provides a strong opinion that many have on the issue. The opinion is backed and is a well done website.
