Historically, conservatives have ceded the work of education reform to progressives. But, as Congress begins to consider proposals to reauthorize NCLB/No Child Left Behind (the latest iteration of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act), education is ripe for conservatives to offer an alternative.
Rather than talking about what conservatives are against, conservatives should be talking about what they are for. By identifying what the federal government has the potential to do right, we can begin to sketch a principled, coherent approach to education, one which allows Washington to promote the kind of great schooling that America’s kids need.
