Summary Introduction

Introduction

No Child Left Behind was mean to improve schools by having them compete with each other, and measuring student success with standardized tests. Critics say this forces teachers to teach to the test, rather than making lessons relevant to students' lives. Other critics say the focus on high-stakes tests means students will have test-related skills, but not learn things in depth. It is also considered punitive for schools with fewer resources. Race to the top is a series of incentives for states to reform and improve schools in order to earn grant money from the federal government. This is also criticized for relying on standardized testing to judge students and teachers. Others say race to the top gives too much influence to the federal government.
