The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2002. NCLB requires states to develop basic skills assessments to receive federal funding and aims to raise test scores and prepare students to compete globally. The author chose to research NCLB because they participated in the program in middle school, attending a different school in their county provided by the act.

5. IMPORTANT ??????
 I chose this topic because I participated in the No Child Left Behind
program. When I was in middle school I attended another school all three
years. The school was within my county and also the county provided full
transportation to and from the school. After attending middle school I went back
to my districted high school. This project is the perfect way to research what
the act is. So far in my research I have learned a lot about the development of
the act and how it is impacting education in America. I’ve learned so much in
just these few weeks about research as well as how to perform research. I look
forward to the final project and the research that comes with it.
