Eng 111 Many people have different views on how they see things and on what they believe is right from wrong. Most people believe that the only way to succeed in life is by going to school and becoming a well-educated person and of course getting a degree. The authors of “Rereading America” have stated a really good point. They say and I quote, “school can bind as well as free us”. I strongly do not agree with this quote though.
Using league tables is a good thing as if you want your child to go to a good school, you can chose the one most suitable with good education and exam results. Schools are paid by how many children they can attract so school results and Ofsted inspection publications is hoped to make schools compete and get good results or they wont attract pupils and the funding. Different types of schools for example faith schools and academy schools are a change that also helped pupils in education. Faith schools were introduced in the 1990s by demands of Muslims who wanted their own faith schools. Different types of schools help as parents have more choice and freedom of where they want their child to go.
NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.
Moreira (2012) stated, “Humanistic-phenomenological psychotherapy is a contemporary development of person-centered therapy” (p. 3). Carl Rogers was an influential psychologist as well. The article on Carl Rogers describes his findings and the importance of his research and how these findings are researched even further. Many changes have been made to the Rogerian theory, which originated from a clinical theory of psychotherapy, Rogers work expanded into other areas such as education (Moreira, 2012).

Raises would vary, with some teachers potentially getting raises in the "late 20s (percent)," Carroll said, especially if they earn a graduate degree or more credits. CPS teachers on average earned $71,236 in 2011, state data show. Teacher ratings: A 2010 law required a new teacher evaluation system that judges teachers in part on their students' academic gains. Some reformers and lawyers believe that the new evaluations should never have been an issue in the strike, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pledging to go to court over the issue.

Curriculum has evolved very little in the last half century, and I feel it is time to analyze and progress how and what we teach our young people. It is the very children we are educating who should to be aware of this necessary progression.
