Education is one of Obama's top priorities and less controversial than the economy and healthcare reform...
Curious as to why the changes to Title I made by new Secretary Arne Duncan weren't more sweeping, and instead only nibbled around the edges at the controversial No Child Left Behind law?
Steven Robinson, a special adviser to Duncan ... essentially told superintendents gathered yesterday at the American Association of School Administrators' legislative conference that if the department started to make NCLB more workable, then there would be less motivation in Congress to reauthorize it....
That was a bit much for one superintendent in the audience, who loudly commented that in the meantime, kids and districts are suffering.
