Excellent article by Diane Ravitch at the WSJ, on “The GOP’s Education Dilemna.”
In addition to reminding us of all the usual bad things about George W. Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” act, she tells us that it’s also causing the closure of community schools. I wish she had given us some examples of how that works, but it’s not surprising. Every time you centralize more authority (= funding) you tend to wipe out some of the smaller players.
Way to destroy local communities, Mr. Compassionate Conservative.
