CR - Federalism: No Child Left Behind

Question 1

Short answer

Read the information and use it to answer the constructed-response question.

In 2001, the president signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which required that states that received federal money for education create grade-level tests to measure student achievement as part of a school accountability system. States had the option not to participate in this program. However, implementation of this program was a condition for states to receive federal funding.

  • Describe how the concept of federalism applies to this situation.
  • Should the states that chose not to create the tests lose all of their federal funding? Explain why or why not.
  • Include details and examples from the information to support your answer.
