The real question is not whether it improved public education, but rather...
1. Should the Federal govn't be involved with state / local education?
2. Should the Feds tax and spend and 'waste' taxpayer money for another social program?
3. Is the money well spent??
4. What's the exit strategy for this, and many other, Fed programs??
PS. And besides, the only way a child will not be left behind, is when all the other classmates stop and wait for him. The program should be called "all children only learn as much as the dumbest kid in the class" program.

It has made it worse. Many of today's kids have only an 8th grade education or less due to this program.
My Sister (now in her 30's) was one of the forerunners of this new program (at least new in her day) and she barely can spell correctly, write correct English or know history or other subjects that were taught in schools during the 60's and 70's.
Just look how poorly written the questions we see from the kids on this site. And, how poorly they spell words. How misinformed they are and a slew of other Educational lack.
You can tell those that really try to learn and those that are using school as a Social Club.
Notations: Bush did not start this program. It was started in the 80's.
The reason the Federal Government funds public schools is so they can legally tax our wages. This causes all citizens to be Federal Employees since we are using Federally sponsored schools.

What is NO CHILD left behind .The child has more time for tests if needed,a teacher and students from higher grades to help with homework ( study hall period ). It's up to the student to ask for help. I think it's helped my child (A'B'C) can't ask for better

Don't see how it could help. Don't know exactly how it works but if it means if you get all F's on your report card or if they lower the standards to the slowest child's level then no way does it help.
