    And then when Bush Jr implemented "No Child Left Behind," schools had to use certain research-backed curricula if they wanted to keep their funding. So they trusted that the "research" about whole-language reading curricula was true. It took decades to see that it wasn't the teachers' implementation that was flawed, it was bad research. The approved curriculum reinforced bad reading practices.
