You do realize that education is funded at the state level right? The federal government does give a little bit to the states for things like subsidized school lunch and some after school programs, but this amounts to a drop in the bucket of over all education spending.

Maybe you don't like "no child left behind" but something had to be done. The education system in the US was fucked way before Bush became president. The democrats are too closely tied to the teachers union to do what needed to be done. Teachers generally are against anything that will make their job harder. Such as higher standards and more testing to learn if the goals are being met.
