MY EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM VRS. THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND EDUCATION PROPOSAL OUTLINE
PARAGRAPH The No child left behind education proposal is the president George W. Bush idea for fixing the system. I am going to go over some of the differences of where we differ big time. His plan calls for states to come up with its own set standard for graduation and for what a student should learn which is a no-no. One national set standard is the best way to go. My idea for a set standard will have all students taking college level classes in high school. The leave no child behind educational proposal only wants an increased availability of the classes. His idea of what a qualified teacher is different from mine. In his proposal he wants all teachers have a 4-year college degree. He does want state certification of all teachers and demonstrated knowledge of the subject he or she is going to teach. It has to be all completed by the end of 2005-2006 school year. I will say it will never happen. The state of Alaska is a location and population nightmare that I think will make it very tough to pull off. Economic and population problems could cause California to not meet these goals as well. What I want in a teacher is discussed in detail in detail on the School Teacher web page on my site. I will say some points from that page right here though. I do strongly feel that 2-year degree grads can teach and teach well. I want the Teach For America fully expanded for all school districts. Those two points 100% go against what Bush wants. Bush wants 99% of students to be at proficient levels by the 2013-2014 school year. It is an idea that will be to tough to accomplish. Around 55 million students are in the k-12 grade level with 6.5 milion of them being called special ed students. Only 1% of 55 million is only 550 thousand, which I think is cutting it too close. Dropping the number down to like 95% will be better for all school districts and teachers. You can't be too perfect. We both agree that testing students in grades three through eight is a good thing, but I do test for all subjects starting in the sixth grade. I also go one step further and test to see how a students mind is wired in the first grade. Q&A NA.
