and monitoring accountability, the defining difference between the two laws is who is
responsible for setting standards and goals for the education system.
When President Obama signed ESSA, he ensured that the states had the ability to
set their own standards, goals and ways of testing or monitoring the progress of their
students. This is a critical factor to the success of any law that wants to improve
education. ESSA recognizes that each states has many students, all of which are
surrounded by many circumstances and cannot be put under a blanket statement set of
standards given to them by the government. With ESSA, the standards are made by the
states, using the help of the educators who live there. This allows for students the chance
to reach standards that are set for their levels and gives them the ability to get the most
out of their education.
Theres always room for improvement in the practices and procedure of education
in the classroom, that much is publicly known as true. The same can be said for the
governments input and laws about education. While ESSA has improved education
greatly, theres always more that can change for the better and for the benefit of the
students of the country so they reach their full potential.
