More attention was focused on school accountability resulting in more and more testing for schools to either pass or fail sometimes murky criteria. “After the No Child Left Behind Act was passed which mandated testing in all 50 states, U.S. students fell from 18th in the world in math in 2000 to 31st in 2009.” (Is the Use”). No Child Left Behind obligated school districts in all states to ensure that all students are proficient.
