It’s unclear how successful No Child Left Behind has been, but under President-elect Barack Obama this policy may finally take off and make a difference.Obama has chosen longtime basketball buddy Arne Duncan, who is the chief of Chicago Public Schools, to be the secretary of education in his Cabinet.
The selection of Duncan will certainly renew debates about Obama's commitment to public schools since he has chosen not to send his daughters to the district that Duncan oversees. However, Obama defends his decision to send them to a private school, saying it was the best choice for his family.
