NCLB Propaganda

Yesterday we were to bring in some propaganda on our research topics. I am researching “No Child Left Behind” and the issues that have come up since it has been put in place. I looked up “NCLB propaganda” on Google. There I found mostly propaganda against “No Child Left Behind”. Most of them were cartoons and you would have to see them to understand them, but for the most part they depicted students being stranded. Unless my perception is wrong, I understand the cartoons to mean that NCLB is not working. When I first began researching on my topic it seemed a lot easier to find people who were for “No Child Left Behind”, so I do not understand why there was more propaganda against it. I guess I am not looking hard enough. Every time I learn something new about the issue, it brings up something else I do not understand. This we also discussed in class and I have found it to be very true. I am used to just stating the facts that are seen on the surface but never really going into depth on issues that come up through my research. This will be a struggle for me and therefore I know I need to get started ahead of time.
