Response to No Child Left Behind

"No Child Left Behind" is an honorable attempt at fixing the things that are wrong with the educational system. Its the policies and rules that are being used in the attempt to fix the education system that I don't agree with. I don't believe that the standardized testing should have as great as a significance as it does. The results of the test being of so much importance is that the teacher will only concentrate on those subjects being tested. The students are being deprived of their full curriculum because the teachers are attempting to up the test scores. Th e students may become proficient in those subjects being tested but what about the others. Will they be able to get into Universities and be able to keep up with the Gen-Eds? If schools continue to cut the other subjects and only concentrate on what is being tested then I don't believe the students have a chance.
