The Progressives were people advocating social reform. They believed in science and technology, and were very political people.
They faced challenges such as how to accommodate states that had basically ruled. How to create a strong central government without giving too much power to one group & how to give small & large states equal representation.
Two of the goals were:
- Students were to be tested annually in math and reading.
No Child Left Behind Act requires that school demonstrate that each student is on grade level, in key areas such as math and reading. States must set goals which will demonstrate schools are making "adequate yearly progress" in math and reading.
- Facilities were to be upgraded to meet Federal standards.
School that can not demonstrate this proficiency stand to lose Federal funding.
I hope this helped you. :)
According to Washington, the colonists needed to accept the taxes and have representation in Parliament in order to pass taxes on them in the first place.
