Questions: 5002004/assessment 5.2.4 Quiz: Domestic Challenges and the Great Recession Question 9 of 10 Supporters of the No Child Left Behind Act felt that it would: A. decrease opportunities for high-income students. B. equalize opportunities for middle-class students. C. increase opportunities for disadvantaged students. D. increase opportunities for foreign-born students. SUB: Previous

The answer is C. increase opportunities for disadvantaged students.

This option is incorrect because the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was not designed to decrease opportunities for any group of students, including high-income students. Instead, it aimed to improve educational outcomes for all students.

While the NCLB Act aimed to address educational disparities, its primary focus was not specifically on middle-class students but rather on ensuring that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, had access to quality education.

This is the correct answer. The No Child Left Behind Act was enacted to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their more advantaged peers. It aimed to provide all children with a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.

Although foreign-born students could benefit from the provisions of the NCLB Act, the primary focus was on disadvantaged students in general, which includes but is not limited to foreign-born students.
