 No child left behind 
Things constantly change in our government everyday whether we may notice it or not. For example, in the article it talks about how Obama had made a program called the "No child behind". This program was made to be put into schools across the United States to ensure that schools would higher their testing scores especially in math and science since, those are generally the lower grade percentages in schools. About a decade after president Obama passed this law he gave 10 states a break on the crucial standards allowing them to adjust to the "No child left behind" program.  New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Colorado, Minnesota and Oklahoma were of the first states who received this special waiver on Thursday from President Obama. He allowed them to make up their own percentages of what they believed would be acceptable and good for their schools as long as they were higher than before and that they would continue on improving their students education until there was a bare minimal of students who weren’t being successful at school. Some people’s reactions to this was that they disliked it very much since they said their children’s education was not some sort of poker chip to be throwing around and be messing with. This would be a very good article for people of any age to read whether you have small children or not because, it affects many people. You may not have children but, you may have brothers and sisters who are still very young and all these laws that are being passed will be affecting them. Laws that get passed on education are very important and should be taken seriously since the youth of the United States are of course how they say the future. If we don't learn how to educate the future of the United States then we won’t be able to get very far in Government or in anything else around the world. This is definitely an article worth reading because, it keeps you informed about what is happening around the world up to this day concerning politics and laws on education which to many of us is very important and is why we’re all going to school rite now.
