Lena's: POV
Lena just arrived in conference room
She went in and signed in. And took a name badge, and took a seat
It didn't looked like there wasn't a lot of people like their were yesterday
Lena took out a pad and pen to take notes with. Lena notice there was refreshments on the table, just the sight of food at the moment made her
queasy. Lena settled on saltine crackers and water, that was the only thing she could tolerate for now,
A few more people enter the room
One woman who walked up to the podium and introduce herself.
She talked about the no child behind
Act was put in place back 2001 by George W. bush. Basically authorizes several federal Education programs
That are administrated by the States
The Law is a reauthorization of the elementary and secondary education
Act. Other words if kids fail to meet the requirements for his or her grade level, they won't be held back
Lena did not agree what the woman was saying. Lena wanted to argue her point of view on the matter, but somebody beat her to it. A woman in the back raised her hand, Vanessa
Was the chairman on the board
Yes Vanessa. I believe the no child behind Act is a joke, because you are setting this children up to failure because. You gonna move them along
And do the same thing with the next
Group who comes in behind them
If they don't meet the requirement
Guidelines your going to pass them on to the next grade level. That makes no sense, they should be held back and repeat that grade. So you willing to promote on to the next level
Regardless of there low test scores
The woman said, l'm sorry your entitled to your opinion. Each year
When children are enroll in one of our schools, we get funded by the state. Everyone knew that Vanessa wasn't being completely honest,
Lena could tell Vanessa was nervous
About something, but she couldn't put her finger on it just yet. Lena knew all the policies and procedures
That goes into the education system
