ed.gov website

I think the ed.gov website is a really interesting website. It gives you a chance to look for anything that relates to education in the United States. One topic we had to look at was the No Child Left Behind Act. It let us look into all different articles about it. It has tons of information about it and some interesting facts. It talked about that the funding for the arts is being cut. They are testing reading, math, and more subjects in schools. They also talk about the Title I funding. Which is free or assisted lunch in schools. And that is the % of students living at or below the national poverty level. It also talked about the Abbott Decision which is from Abbott vs. Burke. The case referred to school funding formula that was inequitable and Universal Pre-School.
Also in the article we found differences from the old law to the new law. One difference is the qualifications the teachers need. You can not teacher with out an Associates degree like you used to in the old law. Another difference is the raising of the standards. A lot of school districts are changing the standards to have better schools and having the children learn more.
