Please, take me!

It's easy to say that we'll create something that theoretically sounds like it'll work but once put into action we realize that it doesn't. This, i think, is the case with the No Child Left Behind Act. Although it's called no CHILD left behind, it's basing it's education on a teachers performance. Not to mention the fact that one of the parts that this act entails is a comparison between 2 completely different classrooms filled with completely different students. Like the teacher said, it's like comparing apples and oranges. The man performing about the act stated that he would want his child to learn from his mistakes and not just pass them without learning the material. This act can easily cause teachers to give an 'incomplete' instead of a D or an F. Furthermore, this all kind of snowballs if you think about it. When you give a child an incomplete without him learning anything, you pass him onto the next grade without previous knowledge of what was taught in the previous grade. What happens next is if a teacher happens to grade her students as they should be graded and these students aren't putting as much effort as the ones she had last year, her school gets money taken away. Things like this make me doubt much of the faith that i have in our government...
