Field Interviews Reflection Paper
Education is an important aspect that ensures all people have opportunities to grow and progress through life. It is an essential component that guarantees skills development, ensuring that people are able to adapt to the changing world. Through the paper, we will explore the essence of providing a tutor for every child who is underperforming. The education system must develop effective approaches to ensure that individual is trained effectively to prepare them for the future. There are different studies that support the importance of tutoring the development of students. No Child Left Behind Act 2001 is one of the effective policies that warrants equal distribution of knowledge, including underperforming students. With effective tutoring, each student is able to attain the goals of learning. Supplemental Educational Services must be provided to all students never attaining their required grade level.
I am exploring the policy because I want to understand the benefits and disadvantages associated with its implementation. There are different approaches that have been used to train and tutor students. The aim of the study is to ensure that there is equal distribution of knowledge among all students. However, the sustainability of the policy is questionable. Will there be sufficient resources to provide a teacher for every underperforming student. Are there other measures that can be established in order to have a sustainable tutoring approach? These are important questions that must be addressed in order to understand the viability of the policy.
