Abstract
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), passed in 2015, succeeded in weakening the least popular parts of the No Child Left Behind act. But, argues Jack Jennings, it’s a purely reactive piece of legislation, offering no positive vision for the federal government’s role in addressing K-12 education’s most urgent problems. ESSA is still young, he notes, but Republicans and Democrats should already be hard at work crafting its replacement.
