Brown vs Board of Education- Most important
This was significant because it outlawed segregated schools. Education is still impacted by this because we still have combined racial schools. I think it was important because it taught students that all people are important and deserve the same education.

Standards Movement
Makes it so every school is teaching the same curriculum. -
IDEA Act- Most Important
This was a law passed to make sure students with special needs got the help they need. It requires teachers to make accommodations and plans for each student based on their needs. https://sites.ed.gov/idea/ -
No Child Left Behind - Most Important
This helped those students who had less money to improve their education. I think it is important because they were able to improve their academics and get the help they needed and could not get without it.
