Even though all students have equal opportunities and access to the same information, is there a trend in who gets more assistants based on their socioeconomic status? Many students are bused from low-income neighborhoods to higher-income ones to help schools obtain federal grants. Teachers are not as qualified as they should be to meet the national standard. While NCLBA can be helpful, parents should request that the school board review the impact of student grades and retention to show year-over-year improvement. Because middle class students seem to fall through the cracks of this program by not getting the assistance they need due to financial classification. First, the federal government has programs for low-income students to help with academics but nothing for the middle and upper class. students who fall behind. Middle class students who have a support system at home; financial support for not relying on state aid should not be penalized as they are eligible for tuition assistance. The intent of the law is that schools should be commonplace or in other words promote competition between schools to increase grades and help the education system. “The idea of a common school developed from the theory that all children, regardless of race, class, or religious belief, should have the right to an education” (Aske, 2013). The law was proposed by Congress to make schools more accountable and give parents more choices in their children's education. Since the law was passed it has received both praise and criticism. While it would be easy for the government to just look at year after year results to see that moving children from low income schools to higher achieving schools... middle of the paper... the right to have an education and have the opportunity to succeed regardless of their socioeconomic background.
