Republicans took the first step Friday in replacing the No Child Left Behind Act, with the House of Representatives voting for the proposed Student Success Act. U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, spoke Thursday in support of the SSA on the House floor, drawing from his experience of his marriage to a schoolteacher. He said that there were too many restrictions and regulations when federal government gets involved in education.
