An ideal form of No Child Left Behind would be beneficial to the welfare of the United States

Cool Overview- Many issues have been discussed throughout this debate, but a single issue makes it so that voting pro is the only way to go. As a judge you must remember that we are discussing the implementation of an ideal form of NCLB, not the current form. The fundamentals of NCLB are what is being debated here today and in this round I will prove the fundamentals are strong. Through presenting a modified form of the current system we will see that this ideal form of NCLB will benefit society. The argument- One argument went massively undercovered by my opponent and he loses because of it. Maybe you should have provided that additional argument, too bad its too late now. NCLB ensures students can move schools if their school performs at a lower standard than other schools in the district. The only argument against this was that "People already have the freedom to choose what kinds of schools they wish to go to" and sure, they can choose whether they go to a private or public school. However, not every American can pay to go to a private school. The determining factor on where you are placed for schooling is where you live. The individual has no say in what school they go to. This means if a school performs poorly compared to the others in the district that individual is stuck in the bad school and their future is hindered in the process. Making people go to a school that will not help their future is a horrible thing for the government to do, not everyone can just move their house/apartment because they want to move schools. NCLB ensures students can switch schools if the school performs poorly on the standarized tests. An ideal for of NCLB would have national standards that each school is tested on at the same time each year. Schools that perform well are rewarded by the federal government, schools that perform poorly are not; and all students that attend the poor performing schools will be given the opportunity to switch to a well performing school. Because I have proven that this one part of NCLB is a good thing, I win the debate round. Because I have proven that NCLB has at least one good thing, this means an ideal form will have that part and only that part utilized. Too bad you undercovered the argument and can't make new arguments in the last round. You had adequate time to rebut the argument and you refused to do so. Judges, hold him to only that one sentence rebuttal he gave, he had his chance, don't let him make a bunch of new arguments that I can't respond to. All of the issues dealing with the standardized tests no longer exist because the ideal form of NCLB will be free of those problems. The ideal form of NCLB will be a national test that rewards the well performing schools of the individual areas. The rewarding will be relative on the schools in a certain area. Only the top certain percentile will be rewarded by the federal government. Because the test is national there will be no lowering of standards in individual states. The standardized tests are the only way you can measure a school against another and are therefore necessary. Being that the tests are only in the core areas, schools can still have other classes and focus on other things. When creativity is beneficially, some things are necessary for all American children to learn. The ideal form of NCLB will only test the bare standards of what students need to learn and leave time for other subjects to be taught. When its so obvious that an ideal form of NCLB will be beneficial to society, you have no choice but to vote pro.
