Tell Your Friends About the Bush Legacy on Education
President Bush's time in office may be coming to an end, but the impact of the Bush legacy will be felt for years to come.
In his “compassionate conservative” campaign rhetoric, Bush promised to support an education system that would “leave no child behind.”
Then came the reneging on No Child Left Behind. Bush and his Republican allies in Congress set high standards for schools to raise testing scores, but refused to provide the money to achieve those standards. Schools have struggled to develop appropriate tests and provide the extra help students need to make the government-mandated test score improvements.
