'''No Child Left Behind''' is a 2004 law signed by President [[George W. Bush]] that holds public schools accountable for their students' test scores.
Under the law, a school whose students consistently fail [[standardized tests]] will be subject to disciplinary action, including giving [[vouchers]] to the students to study at more efficient [[private school]]s, or even firing the administration and teachers of the school and having the state government assume control.
The law has been shown to be effective in ensuring that underprivileged youth receive the same standard of education as every other student.
