No Child Left Behind And the Transformation of Federal Education Policy, 1965-2005 (Studies in Government and Public Policy)

No Child Left Behind And the Transformation of Federal Education Policy, 1965-2005 (Studies in Government and Public Policy)

Education is intimately connected to many of the most important and contentious questions confronting American society, from race to jobs to taxes, and the competitive pressures of the global economy have only enhanced its significance. Elementary and secondary schooling has long been the province of state and local governments; but when George W. Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act in 2002, it signaled an unprecedented expansion of the federal role in public education.



This book provides the first balanced, in-depth analysis of how No Child Left Behind (NCLB) became law. Patrick McGuinn, a political scientist with hands-on experience in secondary education, explains how this happened despite the country's long history of decentralized school governance and the longstanding opposition of both liberals and conservatives to an active, reform-oriented federal role in schools. His book provides the essential political context for understanding NCLB, the controversies surrounding its implementation, and forthcoming debates over its reauthorization.

The procession was several blocks long.
Most of the angels flew a protective circle
around the cars. I rode near Glory. She was quiet.
She was calm. She was a comfort to me. I put my
arm around her and she sighed peacefully. I
whispered in her ear. 'The Lord promised me that
these angels would look after you. They've done a
great job so far. I have no reason to doubt they'll
do a great job from now on. I love you. I wish I
could ease the pain of your missing me.'

'What were her choices, Martin?' Mother joined us.

'What do you mean?' I asked.

'You have to realize that her pain is her choice.
The only way for her to avoid this pain right now,
would be for her to have loved you with less than
her full heart. But she did love you with her full
heart - you know she did. If people choose to love
in life, when they lose those whom they love,
they will have pain. The only other choice is
to avoid love, but that is to choose to live
in pain. Let her mourn. It's her tribute to you
and to your love. She wants to do it. She needs to
do it. Soon, her peace will overcome her pain.'
Mother's voice was so soothing for both me and Glory.
