Education bill sparks questions after 35 years

Education bill leaves schools with vague fixes and political tradeoffs
Ann McFeathers notes the new education law promises 40 percent federal support for special services, but offers no enforcement mechanism and leaves crumbling schools and the achievement gap unresolved. Conservatives fault vouchers, liberals seek more money for special education, while overall funds rise marginally. The bill aims to boost reading, accountability, and English proficiency, yet questions linger on tests, firing ineffective staff, and funding real improvements.
