The teachers, the tools, the curriculum are not the problem. The No Child Left Behind Act is the problem. When everyone passes regardless if they learned anything or not, literacy skills are going to go down. You used to stay in a grade until you passed that grades curriculum, now everyone gets a pass. There are no consequences, resulting in no incentive to learn. Repeating 8th grade while all your friends move to high school is a pretty good incentive to get your act together.

- BeFlatXIII 2y agoIs ESSA foundationally any different from NCLB?
- WillPostForFood 2y agoMore incrementally different than foundationally different. ESSA was trying to address complaints about NCLB, to allow more autonomy and flexibility. Neither are directly responsible for "everyone passes." They both were trying to stop everyone passes by adding a standard of accountability.
