President Obama called on Monday for an overhaul of education legislation enacted in the Bush administration, telling an audience of teachers and students that Congress should change the No Child Left Behind Act before the start of the next school year.
“I want every child in the country to head back to school in the fall knowing that their education is America’s priority,” Mr. Obama said.
President Obama said that while the intent to the No Child Left Behind Act was right, the law as it stood had not given educators the flexibility and money they needed to make it effective.
The question arises, will President Obama's plan for revamping the No Child Left Behind Act stand or will it sit around considering the new Republican majority in the House and the new members on the education committee?
