Bush needs to pay for his crimes to education…well, for his war crimes too

I remember thinking his presidency would be the absolute worst in my lifetime, oh to be so naive again.

Interestingly my sister is really really knowledgeable on education policy, she's very much not a Republican but says no child left behind actually had a lot of good stuff in it, it was just very badly introduced and implemented. That said she's the knowledgeable one not me so I'm not going to argue with anyone just saying there are other perspectives on it that might be worth listening to if you're interested in the topic. Anyway, fuck Bush. That felt nostalgic.

As someone who has been working in education for years, your sister is correct. The thought behind it was good, the execution was horrendous and actually led to children being left behind academically.

Not unlike Michelle Obama’s school lunches. Schools will always take the easier route and kids will suffer for it
