Abstract
Education has been one of the biggest priorities in the American political debate for the past few years. As schools and education have faced tremendous difficulties in certain areas and failed to provide rightful opportunities to every American kid for a long time, the federal government ran various policies and passed laws in order to solve education problems. In 2000, the Bush Administration decided to contribute to this process by proposing new radical measures. Voted in 2001 by the Congress and promulgated in January 2002 by President George W. Bush, ?No Child Left Behind' aimed at deeply reforming the American school system in order to impart education and improve the performances of children to ensure a holistic development. The book ?Leaving No Child Behind- Options for Kids in Failing Schools', Frederick M. Hess and Chester E. Finn Junior discussed the implementation of this law. They published this study in 2004 and conferred that it was still too early to evaluate the efficiency of the measures proposed and enforced by NCLB (No Child Left Behind). In thirteen chapters of the book and through various contributions, the authors have studied the law in general and paid heed to aspects like how it has been implemented in different areas, the problems faced during this process and how it could be improved. For instance, the book uses specific examples to address its topic from different places like Florida, Michigan, San Diego, Worcester (Massachusetts) or Montgomery County (Maryland).
