There is a big difference between this administration and the previous one with regard to education: Ol' Bush tried to bludgeon states to comply with "standards" by making threats of sanctions, while Obama does it the "Chicago way" through old-fashioned bribery, also known as Race to the Top.
Guess which one is more effective? At least Bush and company didn't try to subvert teacher protections in order get what he wanted although NCLB was a start in that direction. But Obama and Duncan are wrecking public education with astonishing speed.
