At least with no child left behind there was some semblence of a plan, even if it wasn't the best.
You mean, even though it was underfunded, didn't work at all, and is now basically ignored by most major school systems?
Yep, sounds like a Republican "prove that government doesn't work" plan all right.
NCLB was basically a wrapped gift to the corporations that do school testing. By requiring that kids take a standardized test almost every year, school systems had to invest huge amounts of money into training adjutants, paying for the tests (they're not cheap), and preparing the kids to take the tests (also not cheap.) Where did that money go? Why, right into the pockets of those testing companies.
