NCLB was an an unmitigated disaster

WASHINGTON (AP) - The No Child Left Behind education law was cast as a symbol of possibility, offering the promise of improved schools for the nation's poor and minority children and better prepared students in a competitive world.

Yet after a decade on the books, President George W. Bush's most hyped domestic accomplishment has become a symbol to many of federal overreach and Congress' inability to fix something that's clearly flawed.

The law forced schools to confront the uncomfortable reality that many kids simply weren't learning, but it's primarily known for its emphasis on standardized tests and the labeling of thousands of schools as "failures." CBS

I followed the destruction from day one. The first thing I noticed was that teachers left school for three weeks to learn the damn law leaving California students with strangers.
The next thing I noticed was a $100 billion wasted spending spree by local school boards. The next thing I notices was $100 billion in wasted construction because the failing schools did not have a construction problem. There are districts across the nation with unused, brand new school construction. The local construction problem was mainly in the minds of corrupt school board members. Finally I noticed the kids getting dumber.

The main problem with education is the election of evangelical socialists from Texas. Drunken Irish Senators with brain tumors do not help, and the fewer Kennedys we have the better. You cannot put a drunken Irishmen in from of a bunch of schoolmamrms. They swoon and make bad decision.
