We're Fighting for the Right to a Great Public SchoolNEA President Reg Weaver recalls the passion for teaching he’s felt over a 30-year career: “There’s no feeling like seeing children’s eyes brighten up as they discover a world of opportunity.” He reminds listeners in his 60-second May radio spot that we're a team fighting for great public schools -- including smaller class sizes, adequate funding, and access to a rigorous curriculum -- for every child.

One size does not
fit all.
"We support teaching that recognizes children

Every child can learn, but parents and teachers know that children need individual attention based on their individual needs.
The new so-called "No Child Left Behind" law imposes a one-size-fits-all approach on children, and demands that all children meet the same level of achievement in the same amount of time, regardless of individual differences.
The National Education Association (NEA) supports efforts to improve the law so that each child can learn as he or she learns best, and schools can direct resources where children need them most.
