Though there is no constitutional basis or justification for federal intrusion and legislation, George W. Bush worked alongside Ted Kennedy to pass No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2001 which was signed into law in 2002. The bill opened up a marketplace for corporations to position themselves to make huge profits as public schools struggle to gain acceptable ratings while nonprofits swoop in to rescue the children from “failing” schools.
Dr. Pat Huff, a Tomball, Texas resident, went to Kimball High School in Dallas ISD. He retired after 34 years in the Texas public education system after serving as a middle and high school principal. He went on to get his doctorate from an HBCU - Prairie View A&M where he took on the accountability system and high-stakes testing (STAAR) as part of his dissertation. He set out to prove NCLB was written with the intent to set up schools for failure and high-stakes testing was used to shutter them.
His book The Takeover of Public Education in America: The Agenda to Control Information and Knowledge Through the Accountability System is an informative and insightful look into the mechanism that controls school systems today. It provides a look back into the history of how the system developed and peels back the curtain to reveal what crippled the schools under Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and the infamous “Waiver.”
Technology and high-stakes testing have served to limit a child's education through the agenda to control information and knowledge. As a result, children and their teachers have been reduced to data points and fed into social impact investing schemes for profit.
