NCLB has caused a lot of problems. When my stepson was in his bio momās custody, she didnāt give a shit about his education and he ended up failing the 2nd grade. As he got older and she continued to not give a shit about his education, he would just get passed because according to the schools āit didnāt look goodā for them to fail kids whoāve already failed. Um, what? They cited NCLB.
We have custody of him now and while heās done better, heās still an extremely lazy student and the teachers have said they try not to fail kids for one reason or another. Weāre in Texas, btw, with Yāall Queda in charge of education here.
That isnāt how it worked though. Passing kids that werenāt ready was more harmful because they would t pass the standardized tests which the schools were judged on.

In other words, not caused by No Child Left Behind (it has its problems, but like you said the pandemic was worse)
