She 15 and she failed 9th grade last year because she got all F's because her teachers were bad. what can she do to let her back in school

Answer 1

Maybe

Answer 2

haha "her teachers were bad"

at this point it's the child & parents fault.

not the teachers. they need to find her another school.  

Answer 3

If the teachers feel like they have done all they can and the student is causing problems with other students and also failing in their classes they can move them to an alternative school. I'm not familiar with that county but you could tell your sister to call the school and request a meeting with the principal or social worker. Have your sister and her daughter both be there and discuss what changes she ( your niece ) needs to make. They could set a plan up with goals that she needs to meet and if she doesn't obey the rules they agree to she will sent to an alternative high school.

oh and just a side note... fighting is not just being a kid. It isn't okay to condone that. Be a good uncle and let your niece know that fighting is for the weak minded. She needs to know that she is better than that.

good luck with your situation.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

No Child Left Behind Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

President Bush signing the bipartisan No Child Left Behind Act at Hamilton H.S. in Hamilton, Ohio.The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110), often abbreviated in print as NCLB and sometimes shortened in pronunciation to "nickelbee"[1], is a controversial United States federal law (Act of Congress) that reauthorized a number of federal programs aiming to improve the performance of U.S. primary and secondary schools by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools, as well as providing parents more flexibility in choosing which schools their children will attend. Additionally, it promoted an increased focus on reading and re-authorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). The Act was passed in the House of Representatives on May 23, 2001[2], United States Senate on June 14, 2001[3] and signed into law on January 8, 2002.

NCLB is the latest federal legislation (another was Goals 2000) which enacts the theories of standards-based education reform, formerly known as outcome-based education, which is based on the belief that setting high expectations and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. NCLB does not assert a national achievement standard; standards are set by each individual state, in line with the principle of local control of schools and in order to comply with the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which specifies that powers not granted to the federal government nor forbidden to state governments are reserved powers of the individual states.

The Act also requires that the schools distribute the name, home phone number and address of every student enrolled to military recruiters, unless the student (or the student's parent) specifically opts out.[4]

The effectiveness and desirability of NCLB's measures are hotly debated. A primary criticism asserts that NCLB could reduce effective instruction and student learning because it may cause states to lower achievement goals and motivate teachers to "teach to the test." A primary supportive claim asserts that systematic testing provides data that sheds light on which schools are not teaching basic skills effectively, so that interventions can be made to improve outcomes for all students while reducing the achievement gap for disadvantaged and disabled students.[5]

Over the time of this law, Congress slightly increased federal funding of education, from $42.2 billion in 2001 to $54.4 billion in 2007. This amounts to an increase of a little more than 5% when adjusted for inflation. No Child Left Behind received a 40.4% increase from $17.4 billion in 2001 to $24.4 billion. The funding for reading quadrupled from $286 million in 2001 to $1.2 billion. [6] A 2008 study from the Department of Ed, “Reading First Impact Study: Interim Report,” analyzes the performance of students in 12 states who were in grades one to three during the 2004-5 and 2005-6 school years and concluded that the Reading First Program, a major billion dollar a year NCLB effort, had proven "ineffective." A final report on the impacts from 2004-2007 (three school years with
