Bobby Scott actually said...

"Let's not forget the intent of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act when it was passed in 1965."

"The Every Student Succeeds Act improves on No Child Left Behind and builds on the progress we have made since Brown in 1954 and ESEA in 1965."

"In response to the chairman's question where we have given much more power to local and State agencies, we tell them what needs to be done, but we do not tell them how to do it."

"I think it is important to note that No Child Left Behind had a cookie cutter response that sometimes worked and sometimes did not."
