Based on your readings this week (Chapter 11), review of the ED.gov website and your own experiences, what are your views on the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA) and the flexibility now being awarded to states?
Discuss the legal pros and cons regarding the Act and the practical and political realities associated with ESSA as well as how this is all being affected by the reform. Will your state take advantage of the flexibility from ESSA? If so, what do you foresee as the outcome? If not, what is backing the state's decision to continue following ESSA?
