There wasn't much information I encountered from the articles that I read that really disconnected with what I knew from my future career field. Throughout the initial articles that I read through I honestly didn't find anything that argued against with what I knew. However, after doing some more digging I found an article from the U.S. Department of Education on No Child Left Behind that disconnected from information that I knew. I was under the impression that NCLB was very set in stone and how it was set up was just how it was. However, this article I read, entitled "Obama Administration Approves Idaho's Request for NCLB Flexibility". According to this article, as long as the state of Idaho sets up a state-developed plan for all public schools which will prepare students for college and beyond, then it may be used as opposed to the strict guidelines of No Child Left Behind. I was unaware that these changes could be made, but I am in support of it. No Child Left Behind has been a struggle for many teachers, and while it is great in theory it just has never seemed to materialize as so many of us have hoped.
