No Child Left Behind (NCLB)-IV: The Studies as the Worst Burden and Creating Stress and Frustration among All Kids

The special point is the research in NCLB and for it, what we are talking about is not searching it in the books and making comparison and contrasts; rather it is the management of knowledge such that wisdom becomes our common sense in everything we do, as the students at any level.


However, it may make books speak when one reads after having the idea and insight of what is research. We took three dimensions of thought and knowledge:


1. Ancient Faculties of knowledge: Studies at home


2. The Modern or the Contemporary Faculties of knowledge: Studies at School


3. The Re-cyclic process of Ancient and Modern knowledge for Future: Learning in the Society


Our claim that today, we have one of the best faculties of knowledge in the form of the ideas, thought and knowledge faces a serious challenge for our future generations and thus does not seem perfect for future. It is for us too. It is the re-cyclic process of this IT that we usually find same as the renewal and up-gradation, by craving and collecting more and more information and knowledge.


The re-cycling is evolution of knowledge without which the human knowledge remains just a wisdom that we may assume to have, without ever knowing how learn, acquire and use it. The practice of wisdom is the re-cycling of the knowledge, which is, applied research work of the pure knowledge, which a human cannot do without the personal touch. If our actions are robotic, i.e., readymade we may not have any emotions in the future in our actions.


The worst that may happen seems that our actions will be only activities on the conditions of stimulant and response theory without enjoying what we are doing. This limitation of knowledge faculties seems the degenerating of our joy as humans. We are learning about things, persons and places adding the best possible information and knowledge. The way we gather these faculties of knowledge about ourselves is so little that we to give verbal expression to each thing that we feel and do.


This slowly weakens the bond among humans. In other words, our non-verbal communication is making us lonely and uneducated, as we know little about it. We go here and there just to speak what we want to speak and listen what we want to listen. It is a drawback in knowing without doing, and is one of the reasons the children learn, but cannot practice. The NCLB needs a serious attention for preventing this drawback.
