Failing Schools Strain to Meet No Child Law

A No Child Left behind Law is failing to succeed what it have design to do. The children are failing in schools. Listen to this statistics, “7 in 100 students, 4 in 100 students” could pass the exit exam in Los Angeles High Schools. For example if we have a school about seven hundred students and use this ration, only 28 to 49 students would graduate high school. Such schools only have five years to improve and if they do not then government owns that school. The strategy some schools came up with is to have fewer students in school so teachers can give more attention to each individual. For example, Mrs. Gonzalo has a son who was failing at Algebra; the teacher would not help the student, but just call him “slow.” This shows that public schools do not always have the best teachers who would sacrifice their own time to make sure their students succeed. Mrs. Gonzalo son did not improve until she got him private tutor to improve her son skills in algebra. How can those parents afford a teacher that can actually teach their kids something; moreover, if the family barely have money to put food on their table? No wonder there is such a low rate of passing exit exams. The most important in schools are teachers without good teachers schools would not succeed.
