“no child left behind” is universally hated by TEACHERS UNIONS... that alone tels me there is something good about it

while I don't like big government ANY-thing, that is not their problem with it - they love big government. The thing they hate is the ACCOUNTABILITY

Teachers are held accountable for failing schools (well, at least more than they were before) and that is the part they hate

[KantianBurke]

Yeah. Liberals are solely to blame for this monstrosity. - rolls eyes - Just ignore Dubya, his Republican Secretary of Education & Boehner in the pic.
