In 2001, President George W. Bush and Congress introduced “No Child Left Behind,” a sweeping overhaul to public education in America, and they did it without talking to the nation’s parents, students, teachers, and community leaders who know how important a quality education is for every one of our children.
We all know how that worked out.
Now, as Congress gets ready to work on the new education bill, we need to be sure they won’t make that same mistake again. Chairmen George Miller (D-CA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA), who control the schedules for education bills in the House and Senate, need to hear from you.
