Every Teacher Left Behind

This article started as a letter to the editor. I want to get all this down, then I’ll pare it down for the letter.

Thank you Ron Hutchison for your column in Sunday’s Joplin Globe The Howling the movie , especially since you talked to real teachers. I am a teacher. I had great hopes for the well intentioned “No Child Left Behind” when it passed. The law says that every one for my student must read on grade level by 2014. I have been working to every year for the past 10 years to get every one of my students reading on grade level. I haven’t accomplished it yet, but it looks like in 2014 they will finally make it.

buy Urmel voll in Fahrt NCBL will accomplish this great feat by testing every student every year and punishing schools for those who fail. If one student isn’t proficient, then the whole school fails. Will every school be left behind by 2014? Most likely. Getting 100% of 9 year olds to do most anything is nigh to impossible. You can’t make a pig fatter simply by weighing it, and you can’t make students learn by simply testing them.

The Taming of the Shrew My students have made great improvements over the last few years. Many have come into my classroom reading well below grade-level. Many more, but not all, have left reading on or above grade level. However, it is not enough.

Next year I will have to redouble my efforts to get even more of my 25 students read ing on or above grade level with no additional time, no additional supplies, no additional money, no additional resources, and no additional help. The next year I will need to redouble my efforts with no additional resources. Each year after that I’ll need to redouble my efforts without added help until in 2014 every single one of my 25 or more students is reading on grade level. By 2014 I will have been working for 17 years to get all my students to read on grade level. What a relief that in 2014, after all my efforts, they will finally succeed, thanks to NCLB.
