The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was passed in 1965 to help federally finance schools. It is the largest resource for K-12 education and has been continually reauthorized since it has been passed. The first step ESEA took was to provide one billion dollars to help families living below the poverty line improve their education. This act has helped form many programs that assist those families who need educational assistance. Some of the programs they have formed are Head Start, tutoring, after-school centers, education for parents. The No Child Left Behind Act has revised the ESEA to have schools be proficient in math and reading. It also allowed parents to choose what school they want their children to go to.
The Title IX was part of the Education Amendments in 1972 that discrimination. Title IX is for those education programs that receive financing assistance from the federal. This act has helped sports that girls play receives equal amounts of opportunities and funding as boy sports. Some schools do not fully enforce this act. Some schools have same sex classes to eliminate gender inequality.
These two federal legislations have many impacts for both students and teachers. All students are capable of receiving an education due to having federal assistance. Students should be able to receive the same education as the person sitting next to them no matter of their sex, race, or national origin. Teachers are impacted by these legislations because they have to reach out to all types of students and be sure they are all treated equally.
