No Child Left Behind Act Part II

As Explained earlier the No Child Left Behind Act helped parents get involved with the students to keep them on track, now something added onn is that if a child attends a failing school then they are allowed to transfer to better schools. This is definatly something very nice to have due to the fact that many low income areas probably have failing schools, so for free they will be able to transfer to a better school. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, because if the student gets into a nicerand better school they may not be able to pay off going there. on the upside to that if the student can afford it but just couldnot get in before now they have the opportunity to get a better education.

"Although critics worry that choice will benefit only children with the most resourceful parents, the new rules require school districts to give priority for transfers to ''the lowest-achieving students from low-income families.''"

Honestly that statement makes no sense to me, because why offer it to the worst student and lower your school's standards, or offer it to the highest achieving student from the low income families, they will be smart and be able to go to a nice school for a decent price. The worst achieving student probably won't care about going to a better school, but a higher achieveing lower- income student would appreciate the opportunity more.
