Lack of education in New York schools

It's no surprise how many teenagers do not like to go to school. That's why it is the parent's and the school department's job to enforce middle and high school students to wake up in the morning and educate themselves. But this past year, New York has had the highest rate of school and student failings out of all the states in the US. This past year forty-six New York school were claimed as failing under the No Child left Behind, which included the schools of Brooklyn, the Bronx, Satten Island, and Manhattan. The No Child left Behind was passed in 2001 and stated that all schools in the United States would increase their standards to make sure that schools are doing their job.
Back in the ninteenth century, schooling was always below work. Schools were usually only a few months of the year and students were only taught when work was done. They didn't have as much sources and technology that we have today and the teachers were not as educated as we are today. It is ashame that many students do not take advantage of education, especially since it's free. Education is the key to life and is the only way you can make it through and be who you want to be.
