Think about what you have learned about president bush’s successes and failures in the domestic arena. write five to seven sentences in which you assess his successes, his failures, and the obstacles he faced.

One of President Bush's successes was his "No Child Left Behind" act, reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education act and supporting standards-based education reform. This act promoted higher standards for teachers, improvement plans for under-performing schools, and higher performance goals for students and schools. One of the criticisms of the NCLB was that NCLB taught testing more while neglecting other parts of the curriculum. One of Bush's failures was him not responding quick enough to the Hurricane Katrina crisis. Approximately 80 percent of the city was flooded, thousands were stranded and needed rescues, and there was a public health emergency. Americans believed that the Bush administration did not respond quickly enough.
