Menu Supplemental Educational Services Summary Reflection Quote Time for recess, art, and music Summary Reflection Quote Flaws within the “No Child Left Behind Act” Summary Reflection Quote Conclusion
1 st  article title: NCLB's Supplemental Educational Services: Is This What Our Students Need? In low performing schools tutoring, after or before school, is offered to low income students, but only a small amount of students can gain this opportunity because of the high cost of tutors in supplemental services.  The money funding these programs though can be used for other things within the school as well and districts have been accused that the money is only going towards other things, but on the other hand the information needed for students to be enrolled in these programs is not being put out in a timely manner.  There are many choices of tutoring services now in each district but as of right now few states have not made any way of monitoring the tutoring establishment and if it helps.  Attendance to the afterschool tutoring sessions are very low. To make this program more efficient the state governments need to regulate qualifications for the tutors and keep up with which ones work and which ones don’t. Ascher, C. (2006, Oct.)

“ Do the companies whose television ads have become so familiar offer students eligible for supplemental services the same computers and attentive female tutors pictured in the ads featuring children who suddenly love school? “ The quote above states an excellent question about difference in the quality actually given from the company and the what it looks like in the advertisements.
2 nd  article title: Robbing Elementary Students of Their Childhood: The Perils of No Child Left Behind Elementary Schools around the nation are changing rapidly because of the No Child Left behind legislation.  Some schools are taking away recess from children, because of lost instruction time.  Loss of this time is taking away socializing time, exercise time, and distressing time.  Next the way gifted children are being treated in classrooms are not utilizing their knowledge.  Teachers just expect them to meet standards and go no farther.  The next point brought up is that the children with disorders are being ignored.  They are expected to take the standardized tests that their peers take and are obviously going to fail they try to fail proof the tests by having a way to fill out a “alternative assessment” but the paperwork takes too much time for it to be even worth the time.  Lastly the testing for all of these students takes a lot of money that could spent elsewhere in schools. Henley, J etc. (2007).

“ The great danger we face is that, in our rush to build skills, we undermine our wisdom.” The quote above was one of the most educated statements I found in the entire article.  We focus so much on what there is to learn that we forget there are other things to learn other than facts and numbers.  There are life lessons we learn at school that help children in their adult lives more than anything else and that should not be taken away.
In conclusion the No Child Left Behind Act needs to either be thrown out or reformed because of all of the different aspects wrong with this legislation.  From these three articles I could tell that their were multiple things wrong with the act and that something needs to change or the Educational System or the system will fail and the young children’s futures will wither like a new plant without sunlight.
