No Child Left Behind
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (No Child Left Behind) is a landmark in education reform designed to improve student achievement and change the culture of America's schools. President George W. Bush describes this law as the "cornerstone of my administration."
It is built on four common-sense pillars:
· accountability for results;
· an emphasis on what works based on scientific research;
· expanded parental options;
· and expanded local control and flexibility.
Parents will know their children's strengths and weaknesses and how well schools are performing; they will have other options and resources for helping their children if their schools are chronically in need of improvement.
