 The Top Things We Should Bring Back to EducationEach year teachers must attend staff development and learn about the newest fad in education. We go back to our rooms and try the latest ideas only to discover that our students are not making significant gains in education. There are some old school things that we did when we were in school that should be brought back to the classroom. The Reasons Why No Child Left Behind is IneffectiveThe goal of the No Child Left Behind Act was to improve American schools and to make sure that 100% of public school children are proficient in reading and math. However, the law is unrealistic and has unreachable goals. It does not take into account parental involvement or students with disabilities. It also allows states to create their own assessments and definition of proficiency. As a result, many states are lowering their standards so that more students can pass.
