The American public education system is riddled with a variety of problems. Most students graduate with less knowledge and skills than similar students in other industrialized countries. Disruptions in class are surprisingly common and, in some classes, almost continuous. The public education system has difficulty adapting to the “no child left behind” legislation. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a milestone in education reform designed to improve student achievement and change the culture of American schools. NCLB's primary sponsors were President George W. Bush and Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, who had been advocates for raising the quality of public education for decades. This law was signed in 2001. Unfortunately, not everything has been taken into account for the long-term effects. There needs to be a middle ground for individualized learning because every child learns at a different pace. According to LdPride.com there are about three different types of learning styles ranging from visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners learn through images and visual stimulation. Auditory learners learn through sound and music. While the kinesthetic learns through hands on material. So while you might have a teacher standing and giving history lessons during a lesson, only auditory learners really pick up what the lesson is. The education system should be one that meets the needs of parents, teachers and students. The point of view of everyone involved should be taken into account throughout the entire process. Over the past 10 years, there has been an explosion in our knowledge of the ways in which humans develop and learn.
