John McLaughlin, Ph.D., joined us to discuss the timing of education as a recent talking point in the presidential race. McLaughlin had previously commented on Marco Rubio’s Town Hall discussion recently, and we wanted to explore his thoughts more thoroughly. Here are some of McLaughlin’s previous thoughts on the topic:

“The absence of campaign discussion on K-12 education reflects what just went down in ESSA: the feds punted K-12 education back to the states.  The feds have surrendered after wrestling for control over public education since 1983 with the issue of A Nation At Risk. “
