[] News paper article. With the new Race to the Top teachers have an even bigger load on their shoulders when it comes to their students passing and receiving high grades on standardized tests. Race to the Top is basically a competition to see which schools can receive the highest grades first. If the students in a class do not receive sufficient grades the teacher of that classroom can be out of a job. With Race to the Top the creativity of the curriculum seems to become even narrower than before. Teachers are teaching strictly to the test in fear of their jobs. It seems as if there is no longer room for the fun part of teaching. With the lack of creativity in the classroom students will become easily distracted and spend less time absorbing new material then they did before.
