We did not leave no child behind. The same children who were left behind in 2001-02 are still left behind. Similarly, Race to the Top is a flop. The Common Core tests are failing most students, and we are nowhere near whatever the "Top" is. If a teacher gave a test, and 70% of the students failed, we would say she was not competent, tested what was not taught, didn't know her students. The Race turns out to be NCLB with a mask. NCLB on steroids. NCLB 2.0.
