Maybe the anti-No Child Left Behind talking point will be left, um, behind now:

GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- With school having started or soon to start for children across the country, Gallup's annual Work and Education poll finds satisfaction with K-12 education in the United States increasing, to the highest point Gallup has measured since 1999. Americans believe improving teacher quality is the best way to improve K-12 education in the United States, along with reducing class size and emphasizing a basic curriculum. Parents of school-aged children continue to show even higher levels of satisfaction with the education their own children are receiving.

Interestingly, nine percent more Democrats are satisfied with K-12 education now than were satisfied with it a year ago.
