Position Papers
Revising No Child Left Behind - February 10th, 2007
The only reason I can see that the current administration doesn't focus on the enormous disparities in

(a) teacher quality and state and local spending between school districts serving the greatest number of minority kids and those serving the fewest , (b) Title I spending across the states and , (c) family income

...is that the administration doesn't want public schools to succeed. It wants to privatize them.
