[Mr. K]

After 4 years he decides this is an issue he needs to address?

Just in time for an election too!

How convenient

Even when Republicans controlled both house of Congess, and the presidency Democrats controlled the education system and probably always will. I worked in the Department of Education and was one of only two Republicans in the building for 20 years. Kennedy's staff wrote Bush's No Child Left Behind. EVRY education “change” in the past t20 years has been Democrat sponsored and carried out. It is no exaggeration to say that Democrats are so entrenched in the education system that you will never be able to change. Just changing political parties means nothing in education reform.
