Public policy is full of rhetorical messages, and the ways in which
politicians use rhetoric shapes the mindset of a society. This is
especially true when it comes to federally mandated policy written
in regard to America's public education system. The No Child Left
Behind Act is by far the most controversial education reform
artifact ever published due to its insistence punishing
non-compliant schools. This system of surveillance, coupled with
other issues that will be discussed herein, have caused most
educators to loudly criticize the bill, while the Bush
administration under which it was enacted refuses to back off on
its insistence that the act will work. In order to gain a
rhetorical perspective on discourse, it is vital to look at the
relationship between historical events and the rhetoric surrounding
them. Thus, this text provides a rhetorical analysis of NCLB and
how it measures in a rhetorical and historical context with other
modern educational reform artifacts. I make the argument that an
act cannot be successful on its name alone, but that is exactly the
logic supporters of the No Child Left Behind Act are using.
