    What was this law? What were its goals? How did it change education? How did opponents criticize it? How did supporters argue in its favor? How is this an issue of federalism?

    NCLB legislation set in place requirements that reached into virtually every public school in America. It expanded the federal role in education and took particular aim at improving the educational lot of disadvantaged students.

    The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, signed into law by President Bush on Jan. 8, 2002, was a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the central federal law in pre-collegiate education. The ESEA, first enacted in 1965 and previously reauthorized in 1994, encompasses Title I, the federal government's flagship aid program for disadvantaged students.

    No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is the current incarnation of President Lyndon Johnson's Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), whose purpose was to raise achievement and close achievement gaps. NEA strongly supports these goals and is working to give all children great public schools. But educators know that NCLB as currently written can't get us there. ( https://diigo.com/015c1m )

    Many of the major education groups like school boards and school administrators opposed the act, because the high cost of implementation was not possible due to low federal aid provided for education. Schools eventually sued the federal government due to poor funding. https://diigo.com/015c23

    NEA's message to Congress is to provide more flexibility, empower educators, and focus on ESEA's original promise of equity and fairness for students. That messages resonates powerfully, especially when it comes from those who know best: classroom teachers and education support professionals.

    Some of those who opposed the NCLB Act included most educational groups.Most groups claimed that the high cost of trying to meet the act's demands, and with the low level of federal aid included in the law, would just create a bigger financial crisis for state and local educational agencies.
