EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT[ ESSA ] - by Garry O. Blanson

By now, you have heard of the " DEATH " of the Federal Program for Education in our Schools Known as " NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND." As a matter of fact, some states had " ALREADY " established their own new program to replace NCLB.The New Federal Program that each state must implement is called ," Every Student Succeeds Act( ESSA )." ESSA will replace No Child Left Behind and each state must develop its own plan to measure student progress and help students achieve more Academically. The Louisiana Association of Educators recently released their report on what they say that parents and community members say they want from public schools.Also, members of the LAE said that more than 750 people participated in their meetings. So far,I haven't talked to anyone in the Monroe area who actually attended any of their meetings.Here is a statement from an article about the LAE report," Many participants are concerned about the amount of testing in schools, and how testing may affect learning time, creativity, critical thinking and innovation in the classroom." The article went on to mention that " PENDING " federal " approval, the Every Student Succeeds Act could be in place in LOUISIANA SCHOOLS for the 2017 - 18 school year. Yes, there's a lot that I could have said,but right now I just want to help you become " AWARE " of how School is used as a tool against Innocent Minds !
