20 years ago, in an attempt to raise test scores and close the achievement gap the federal government enacted the No Child Left Behind Act and fives ago it was replaced with Every Student Succeeds Act. Teachers universally disliked these Acts as they tried to make schools from different cities and neighborhoods end up with the same test scores. This is the result of one standard set out around the country from Washington. Today there is pressure to have the federal government set up guidelines for police departments around the country not taking into account the differences in cities and neighborhoods. The education plan failed to solve the problems in schools and many say the plan to bring better results to police departments will suffer the same result. The Feds are under pressure to do something and the something they can do is passed new laws.
