Dan Lips interviews Jeb Bush about education reform on National Review Online today.
I must praise Jeb Bush for his dedication and leadership. I also agree in principle with some of what he says, but as I read the interview it sounds more like an infomercial for NCLB than new reform initiatives. I wish he said more about how they made these reform initiatives work in Florida rather than just listing out parts of NCLB like it is a great law. From where I am sitting, the lack of funding for the NCLB mandates is bankrupting the schools. So Jeb Bush has done a great job cheerleading NCLB for his brother, but I still wonder how we pay for this reform.
