@dom-hx7ki NCLB made extreme emphasis on standardized testing. Funding was connected to it. It wasn't based on being proficient in all subjects at their level, but proficient on passing that specific test for the year.
This made them focus just on what was going to be on the tests. If they didn't, the school would lose funding and eventually close. So, when they're not performing well, they lose funding. That makes them not perform as well because they have less resources...so they lose more funding. And it just keeps going in circles until the school would close. So, they had to put their focus on making sure they could learn what was on those tests, not make sure they were where they should be in every subject, on every topic, and work on holes in their knowledge.
Also, because of this, it made them have to focus on those who were right on the line of proficiency and not give enough attention to others.
It's a terrible and not helpful process.
