A second-term Obama White House is likely to stick to low-hanging fruit in education—tackling issues that don’t require assistance from Congress and don’t get in the middle of the complexities of the teaching profession. Congress was unable to come to agreement on a bill to rewrite the No Child Left Behind education law, and is unlikely to do so in the next few years. Some observers say there is more disagreement now on where federal law should be than there was 10 years ago. Congress’s inaction has actually given the White House more power to act on its own. The Education Department administration came up with its own rubric, in the form of No Child Left Behind waivers, to help states get around the law’s outdated benchmarks.
It seems like the Obama administration has been up to its eyeballs trying to interfere with the teaching profession. Who the hell are they trying to fool?
By the way, getting around a federal law is illegal. Arne Duncan should have been impeached for it.
