Instructions: Discuss how the policies of the Bush Era have influenced the current state of public education. Provide specific examples from legislation, funding, or educational reforms.

Analyze how the policies of the Bush Era have shaped public education today, including factors such as equity, funding, and standardization. To contextualize these issues, include a section that demonstrates how these policies affected your community, or a community of interest to you, and explain why you chose this community and its significance. Record and write up an interview with educator, student, or parent who was impacted by the policies, and analyze how their experience illustrates either the successes or failures of the policies. Include a section where you propose alternatives to the Bush Era policies, using literature to support your proposal. Outline potential implications of your proposal in the community you chose.

The revised prompt requires more analysis and evaluation rather than just description of the policies. It also invites students to consider how the issues impacted a community they care about, adding an emotional motivator and making it harder for AI to discuss local impact. It also has an experiential component— students must speak to a person who was impacted by the policies in order to contextualize the issues.
