In his State of the Union address, Trump used a far-right, DeVosian description of America's public schools as "failing government schools."

Schneider's  clear analysis of the disruption of public education & the failure of the NCLB mandated testing is a must read... even though she apologies for not going" into depth on the defunding of education, and on teacher-bashing, and on the ever-increasing responsibility foisted upon schools to confront issues plaguing families and communities.
