What is the purpose of the law No Child Left Behind?
No Child Left Behind is a federal law signed into effect on January 8, 2002, by President George W. Bush. Its purpose is to promote the academic proficiency of all American students by the school year 2013-1014. In reviewing the No Child Left Behind Act, there are four key areas: annual testing in reading and math, reporting of test scores to parents and the public, greater choice for students attending low-achieving schools, and highly qualified teachers for all schools and higher standards for paraprofessionals.
