The basic criteria of an underperforming school is that it is below average, that sets the stage to close half the schools in the country every year. In practice that doesn't happen, but the idea that it could just a glaring example of how bad this law really is. Some of the statistics and emphasis on minority groups was good to know, but now its time to cut NCLB loose and put that money in the classrooms, not states, not districts or even schools. We should take every penny of NCLB funding and allocate it equally to every public school classroom in America. That's where the money needs to go. That's where it will do the most good for students.ammartinekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02256070836188389221noreply@blogger.com
