Answer 2

Unfortunately, another acronym takes precedence over AYP.  It is called NCLB.  The process is also difficult and sometimes not productive for true learning.  

Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, is a measurement defined by the United States federal No Child Left Behind Act that allows the U.S. Department of Education to determine how every public school and school district in the country is performing academically. AYP has been identified as one of the sources of controversy surrounding George W. Bush administration's Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Private schools do not have to make AYP.
