In 2010, Barack Obama called for fixing the public education system by giving us the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and “Race to the Top,”
which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”
which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”
which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”
which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,
which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.
Thanks for that thumbnail history. Very interesting. 35 years of Fed Gov interference and our kids are less educated then ever. What a shame.
Home school or a quality private Christian school if you love your kids.
In other words, no educational “fix” has ever “fixed” the problem, because they don’t take into account the lack of commitment of the American people.
