I am sure it was sold as something good for education and good for the people and for schools...which is the b.s. part. But knowing Bush and how he never really wants something thats good for the average citizen, what was his real malicious intent?
I am hoping people who really are familiar with the program and its effect on education will answer.

the goal is to break the public education system so it can be privatized and private schools and home schooling will take over. Add to this the chance to boost all the Jesus brainwashing schools and that covers the motive.

To sell books and software made by Neil Bush's company.
Investors from the United Arab Emirates helped fund the $23 million Neil Bush raised for Ignite!, the learning systems company that holds lucrative No Child Left Behind Act contracts in Florida and Texas. The "Cow" is an Ignite! portable computer designed to work in a classroom, providing interactive instruction aimed at improving students' scores on standardized tests.
Barbara Bush also attracted publicity when she earmarked her contribution to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort to be spent on purchases of Neil's software.

Its the same scam that goes with any federal funding. Its an unconstitutional acquisition of tax dollars by career politicians. By providing the funding, the federal government gains control that was intended for the states, with the goal of controlling as much of the nation as possible. For every trillion they tax us, maybe 200-300 billion gets directed toward their friends. Maybe more. Its impossible to say how many companies get a cut.
The 9th and 10th amendments would prevent this, but the voters demand it...I don't know how many times I've heard the left spin: "Bush cut education funding!!"

Kids in America actually learning something about math and science so America can continue to compete in the more and more technical work force was/is the main intent. I guess the devious side of that would be setting up a condition that makes it more difficult for the world to catch up and lessening the power of the teachers unions that place teachers pocketbooks before kids and their parents.

The purpose of it was to continually degrade the overall quality of public education, and by doing so would more and more make vouchers seem like the best solution to poor education.
They wanted to, under a false guise, deteriorate the public school system and run it to shambles, making rich schools richer, and defunding poorer performing schools. By screwing up the public school system even more it would enable them to tilt the argument to their side, towards privatization, non-publicly funded schools where people could theoretically "choose" which school to go to. This of course, would only widen the class divide and take away a great equalizer and "monotonizing" factor for most of America.

It was an attempt to standardize education and establish a national threshold of minimum learning.
Good goal, but like many such programs ignored the realities of what would be involved in implementing it "in the field".

It's probable to spend plenty of time and income looking for approaches to show your kids how to learn and enhance their reading skills. Is difficult to teach a tiny kid how to see, and also enticing them to see is challenging in itself. However it does not have to be like that because you got the help of this program https://tr.im/nR56U , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you may train your youngster how to split up sounds and break phrases into phonemes, a vital issue as soon as your kid is just learning how to spell.
The examining program from Children Learning Reading program allows you for kids to see quickly and precisely, from easy phrases to phrases until they learn to see stories.

Creating more bureaucracy. What you are forgetting is that Ted Kennedy wrote the bill.
