Obama Plans to Leave His Blueprint on Education

On Saturday, in his weekly address, President Obama introduced his plan to overhaul No Child Left Behind. Obama introduced the plan as ”the best chance [for American students] to succeed in a changing world.” 

What the key players say:

Obama:  “[T]he nation that out-educates us today will out-compete us tomorrow.”

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, said that No Child Left Behind, signed into law by President George W Bush in 2002, had resulted in lower standards.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, said, “This blueprint places 100% of the responsibility on teachers and gives them zero percent authority.”
