Published by The Washington Post, this article expresses the advantages as well as risks of revising the “No Child Left Behind” Act and how the Obama administration will modify it to help close the achievement gaps. Requiring a lot of funding Obama is asking Congress and taxpayers to fund the biggest increase ever requested for elementary and secondary education programs (up to $4 billion). Critics and politicians may feel a little skeptical on how this might work but the proposals do appear to target key defects in the act. In a sense this helps provide insight on how the government is trying to find a solution to a very broken education system.
