Abstract
The implementation of No Child Left Behind has many critics regarding its effects on both general and special education. This author will specifically address NCLB's effects in both of these fields. No Child Left Behind affects both by failing to justify the purpose of an Individualized Education Program (IEP), failing to adequately define a qualified teacher, placing unforeseen pressures on both general and special educators, and widening the gap of student's performance. On the surface it appears NCBL has great intentions in leveling out the playing field in education, but after deeper examination this author reveasl flaws and makes suggestions on possible solutions.
