No Child Left Behind
Thursday, September 8, 2011 • Posted September 8, 2011

The United States congress passed a bipartisan bill in 2001 called, "No Child Left Behind" and it was quickly signed by then President George W. Bush. Today it is often referred to as the NCLB and the purpose of the bill was to try and ensure that all the children in the United States of America were being challenged to a higher standard of education and that no child was neglected or that every child was given the same opportunity of a excellent education. In thinking about children and learning wouldn’t it be wonderful if all the Children in America came to know Jesus Christ as Personal Lord and Savior, (John 1:12). It is probably not going to happen for several reasons. One big reason, they are not being taught about God in the Home, (Deuteronomy 11:19). Another is that many parents do not know God, (Deuteronomy 4:10, Psalm 78:8 & 9). Children are a special gift from God, (Psalm 127:3) and parents, especially fathers are to ensure that children are taught or instructed about God, (Psalm 78:3-7). We are told not to hinder children fromlearning about God, (Mark 10:14). Do we take our children to Church and Sunday School with us on Sunday because there is a warning if we do not teach them they may never come to know God, (Proverbs 22:6). See you in Church Next Sunday. Oh, by the way do no forget to take the kids.
