A New "No Child Left Behind"

I have always wanted to know more about "No Child Left Behind". Our new President Barack Obama plans to make big changes to the educational law passed in 2002. The main idea of the law is to improve test scores, and help every student read and do math at grade level. The new plans Obama has are to judge schools by their yearly growth. The schools and especially the teachers will either be rewarded for progress, or will receive interventions for lack growth. One of the major drawbacks for this plan, is that the additional time spent on math and reading may take away from art, music and PE. I think that overall the "No Child Left Behind" is a good idea. I always worry about those students that are falling behind, but don't get the help they need because the school doesn't have the proper resources. I hope that this educational law can make some positive changes for the schools in our nation.
