We need real commitment to education; instead we got NCLB"These past eight years will be remembered for misguided policies & missed opportunities. We still have no real strategy to compete in a global economy. Just think of what we could have done. We could have made a real commitment to a world-class education for our kids, but instead we passed 'No Child Left Behind,' a law that--however well-intended--left the money behind and alienated teachers and principals instead of inspiring them."
We left the money behind for No Child Left Behind"I've had a lot of discussions with teachers. And they feel betrayed and frustrated by No Child Left Behind. We shouldn't reauthorize it without changing it fundamentally. We left the money behind for No Child Left Behind, and so there are school districts all across the state and all across the country that are having a difficult time implementing No Child Left Behind."
Other NCLB quotes here I think Obama is in favor of funding and changing NCLB. But I don't think he'll scrap it.
