As a teacher, I will be held accountable for the education of all students in my classroom.

The 1958 NDEA would have the least effect on me as a teacher because it does not have the direct impact that most of the other laws and court cases have.

The NDEA resulted in the significant increase in federal funding of education in areas that were viewed as related to national security and the growing concern over the Cold War.

The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act will affect me the least if I am a private school teacher or a teacher of a non-tested subject because the act mainly applies to public schools and the tested subjects.

In these cases, the act would have less effect on my work and evaluation.
