 No Child Left Behind
Here on the official No Child Left Behind Web site, you can find answers to your questions about the new education law signed by President Bush on January 8, 2002.
Department of Education No Child Left Behind
On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The Act is the most sweeping reform of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) since ESEA was enacted in 1965. It redefines the federal role in K-12 education and will help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and minority students and their peers. It is based on four basic principles: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work.
Que ningún niño se quede atrás
El 8 de enero del 2002, el Presidente George W. Bush aprobó la ley educativa de 2001 Que ningún niño se quede atrás (NCLB, sus siglas en inglés). Esta nueva ley representa su plan de reforma educativa y contiene los cambios de mayor impacto al Acta de Educación Primaria y Secundaria desde que ésta entró en vigencia en 1965. La nueva ley cambia el papel del gobierno federal en la educación al pedir que las escuelas en los Estados Unidos describan su éxito a base de lo que cada estudiante logre.

Your Child's Safety
A Back-To-School Checklist for Parents from the National Crime Prevention Council
The Don't Laugh At Me Project is working to transform schools into more compassionate, safe and respectful environments. Founded by Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul & Mary, the project works to establish a climate that reduces the emotional and physical cruelty some children inflict upon each other by behaviors such as ridicule, bullying and - in extreme cases - violence.
