The “No child left behind” law passed in Illinois is to insure that every child receives the same level of education as every other child. It gives Handicapped children the right to be in a normal classroom. Is also insures that every child will remain in the classroom environment, though they are disruptive.
This law has created more problems in the classroom and learning environment then to help it. Handicapped children often are very distracting and disruptive in the classroom. They need extra help and assistance in the class and need to have an assistant help them. They sometimes need extra explanation on a subject that everyone else understands. Then the teacher needs to take time from the rest of the class in order to help them. All of these things are taking from the learning environment in the class room. Also some Handicapped children tend to have emotional and/or social problems. And, being in a normal classroom can sometimes make the child feel incompetent because they may be struggling in the class while all the other students are doing fine. why set these children, who already have a hard life, up for failure and pain?
Another flaw in the “No Child left Behind” law is its tolerance to all children in the school systems. Public schools aren’t allowed to kick students out of school unless they are thought of as a threat to the students and staff. meaning the school has to tolerate many students who don’t even care to be there. Again, their behavioral problems take away from the people who actually want to take advantage of the education given to them. The school has to concentrate on punishing students who are constantly causing trouble; taking away their time to concentrate on bettering the education in the school. These kids don’t want to be at school and are causing all of us to suffer. They get away with so much, and waste all out time.
