The No Child Left Behind Act
The No Child Left Behind Act is an effort by the federal government of the United States to improve education for grade levels K-12. While there is a consensus that adequate measures should be put in place to ensure that those students who are in need of help are identified, since its adoption, critics have charged that this and other standardized tests are unfairly biased against students of color. The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent standardized testing programs, more specifically the No Child Left Behind Act, shows a bias in favor of or against any one ethnicity and or socioeconomic class.
