Summary

This quote criticizes former U.S. President George W. Bush's education policy, specifically the Leave No Child Behind Act (NCLB). The quote highlights that although NCLB was touted as his significant achievement in education, it was not adequately financed. It implies that the act remained underfunded, possibly limiting its impact and efficacy. The quote suggests that President Bush prioritized the promotion of NCLB for political purposes without providing the necessary financial support to ensure its success in improving education outcomes for all students.
