Jeb Bush’s Wants “Flexibility for Me But Not for Thee”
Arne Duncan made one guy happy with his decision to override NCLB guidelines as he sees fit. Former Florida governor, turned test-based reformer Jeb Bush wrote an op-ed in POLITICO urging Duncan to do just that:

Without reauthorization, Education Secretary Arne Duncanshould use existing waiver authority
