What are the ramifications of the No Child Left Behind Act and its implementation? The application of the act requires the use of standardized testing to gauge the level of academic achievement of students. This has resulted in the teaching of standardized testing materials, not the application of knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary outside of academia and in some cases, within academia. This practice has resulted in a generation of students that lack the ability of critical analysis and the ability to apply knowledge in everyday situations.
