Background: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110), often abbreviated in print as NCLB, is a controversial United States federal law (Act of Congress) (co-Authored by Democratic Rep. George Miller of California and Democratic U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts) that reauthorized a number of federal programs aiming to improve the performance of U.S. primary and secondary schools by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools, as well as providing parents more flexibility in choosing which schools their children will attend. Additionally, it promoted an increased focus on reading and re-authorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). The Act was passed in the House of Representatives on May 23, 2001, United States Senate on June 14, 2001 and signed into law on January 8, 2002

: "Overhauls of immigration and education are barely being discussed in Washington, since other issues have taken center stage. As a senator, Obama supported legislation that would have provided a path to citizenship for undocumented residents while strengthening the borders against further illegal immigration. On education, lawmakers and policy analysts are examining changes in the No Child Left Behind law, setting standards and mandatory testing in schools. Neither priority has moved beyond talking stages."
