No Child Left Behind?


Education does not define the intelligence of a person but the amount of information that your brain can apprehend.  Education can also define the poverty line of those who can afford an education and those who can’t.  Negative views, such as the poverty line, should be looked down upon because everyone has the right to be educated at the same level.  Money determines who gets to be educated and who can move up in the world.  I believe education is the right of every individual either in a third-world country or an industrialized country. When George. W. Bush came out with the act, No Child Left Behind; it created equality in the United States for children to receive the same amount of education as other children.  Unfortunately, for children outside of the United States, they are either unable to attend school because of money or due to the fact that they have duties to carry out in their families such as farming, fishing, hunting, or of anything pertaining to surviving in a third-world country.  If the government cannot support the people to receive an education, it should be replaced with a new one or be taken over by a government that CAN support the people.  Now I’m not trying to say America should take over third-world countries and come to their aid but it would be a good idea for the United Kingdom or France.  It would benefit both the supporting country and the country that is receiving their help.
