You don't get it. It was the problem with Kennedy and Bush NCLB. They don't care about educating students, the problem the dems had was they wanted to protect the teachers and their unions at all cost. Kids don't vote.
NCLB, for all it's warts, made teachers teach. Put them on notice to lose their jobs if they didn't. That's why the unions and the a lot of teachers hated it was because they were going to lsoe their jobs where they get usually above the average pay for an area and had no oversight, and a 6.5 hour normal work day. And don't tell me about lesson plans, correcting papers, etc... I take work home all the time as well and spend 9 hours at the office.
This is someone the unions will love. No requirement to actually do their job. Isn't America great.
