No Child Left Behind was enacted in the States several years ago-do educators, parents and students give it a passing grade, or is the US failing our children?


No Child Left Behind was enacted to ensure each and every student from every level of economic stature and every level of intellect would be educated with the best methods available.

The naked reality remains that Americans keep throwing money at the educational system in the wrong direction, paying our educational professionals a paupers salary expecting to retain high-performing educators. In addition, America keeps slipping further and further down the educational scale when compared to almost every other large country - and several underdeveloped nations!

Most of these nations spend less per student than the US does!

How can we enact permanent educational change which will actually benefit our children?

Where do we start to enact change, at the local, state or federal level?

Who should we turn to next?

Check in on Monday, October 2 for the first in a series on the educational crisis in America and steps we can begin taking for the sake of our children!
