The president went so far as to call the change a christmas miracle. Critics have said no child left behind gave too much power to washington in controlling state education policy. Earlier today, we talked to dr. Paul gausman, superintendent of sioux city schools gausman says he feels there was more good than bad in no child left behind, but there isis lot of anticipation and excitement leading up to these changes.
