Neill concludes his essay with this line: "NCLB is a time bomb ticking at the center of the public education system." Do you agree with his statement?
Response:
I agree that NCLB is a part of the problems that occur in the American school system, however it is not the reason schools are where they are today. The implementation of this law is valid proof that there was a need for help in schools prior to 2001. I do agree that the way NCLB has changed the values and moral of education in this country is destructive, but that has a lot to do with the corruption present in those mandating and enforcing this law. It will take a lot to undo what NCLB has done and the sooner it is taken out of schools the way it is the better.
Dear Kirnel,
ReplyDeleteIs this the reason you see the law as a "ticking time bomb": "that has a lot to do with the corruption present in those mandating and enforcing this law"? What are some of the reasons you see for why schools are in "where they are today"? I'd be interested to know more.
Best,
Dr. Emert
Hi, Kirnel!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts on this particular matter. In your blog post, you write, "I agree that NCLB is a part of the problems that occur in the American school system, however it is not the reason schools are where they are today." I would be interested to know what you personally think are some of the reasons why school are in such distress at this time. Your insight is greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful day!
With kind regards,
