Makes sense as the PhD's and government "experts" in education gave us the unpopular and widely criticized No Child Left Behind and Common Core, which hasn't done anything to stem the flood of unprepared kids going to college and the work force.
- HiLo 11y agoYes, I'm sure GWB staffed his cabinet with "experts." Yes.
- merpnderp 11y agoWell Obama has had 6 years to fix it. Which makes this less of a republican/democrat issue than a "why the hell aren't we copying Finland" issue. You know like why would government spend all this money on contractors and consultants to figure out a new way to do things when they could just copy a highly functional and successful system? Oh, corruption. Right.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> Well Obama has had 6 years to fix it. In the world where Obama was a dictator and could unilaterally rewrites statutes, sure. In the real world, Obama had just under two years (because Congressional terms start earlier than Presidential terms) with Democratic majorities in Congress.
