Reading and math and eventually science will be tested. What about other subjects?
No Child Left Behind doesn’t require annual statewide testing of other subjects, but that doesn’t mean your state won’t test history, geography, or writing skills, for example. Many states recognize how important it is to measure whether the schools are getting results in every academic area and to make sure parents aren’t disappointed with their child’s education. Reading and math are key to the mastery of all other subjects and to a child’s success in life. That’s why No Child Left Behind focuses on those subjects.
