    "This year, 68 percent of white students met the math targets, while only 45 percent of black students did. In other words, the achievement gap is 23 percent. By the 2017-2018 school year, Virginia says that 57 percent of black students and 78 percent of white students will need to pass. So six years from now the achievement gap will be at 21 percent. That is not a typo. Virginia's goal is to narrow the black-white academic achievement gap by 2 points. In six years."

    "Over the years, NCLB has become increasingly unpopular among teachers, administrators and parents. But there has been widespread support for the law's requirement that schools and districts report how different groups of students are doing." This article basically talks about how the NCLB program is not doing its job well. Their job is to bridge the gap of education. This article shows the evidence on how the NCLB is not doing what it should.

    "That is not a typo. Virginia's goal is to narrow the black-white academic achievement gap by 2 points. In six years." The idea behind this article is that Virginia's education plan is not going to be as effective as it needs to be, if it is effective at all. One of the most important statements in the article is that the new education plans are just drawing attention to the issue and not fixing it.

    "Under NCLB, it has been possible to see clearly, in numbers, that while white and Asian students might be performing very well, African-American and Latino students, and those with disabilities, were not. This year, 68 percent of white students met the math targets, while only 45 percent of black students did. In other words, the achievement gap is 23 percent." This article gave insight about how the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has affected Virginia in the past few years. This report by the Richmond Times Dispatch portrayed how specific races such as white and Asians do immensely better education wise than African Americans or Hispanics. The article describes how the Virginia plan causes many education barriers and establishes different performance targets for socioeconomic groups.

    "This year, 68 percent of white students met the math targets, while only 45 percent of black students did. In other words, the achievement gap is 23 percent. By the 2017-2018 school year, Virginia says that 57 percent of black students and 78 percent of white students will need to pass. So six years from now the achievement gap will be at 21 percent." This article is an evidence of the fact that "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB) is not give a powerful effect that Virginia had hoped it would. It portrays that races like whites and Asians are statistically doing better in terms of education than black students. Virginia's goal to lower the black-white academic achievement by 2 points in six years is ridiculous and provokes students to be differentiated in terms of race.

    Virginia is a part of the No Child Left Behind Act, but its opportunities still aren't in favor of minorities. Many children in these minorities are underestimated in the classroom. This year, 68 percent of white students met the math targets, while only 45 percent of black students did. In other words, the achievement gap is 23 percent. By the 2017-2018 school year, Virginia says that 57 percent of black students and 78 percent of white students will need to pass. So six years from now the achievement gap will be at 21 percent.
