Failing Schools....

http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=912758


This article that I found really highlights the issues with the No Child Left Behind Act that was established in the Bush Era in 2002. The article is quick to state that 82 percent of schools in the United States will be marked as failing, because they are not reaching the goals that are set by NCLB. Obama said that a lot needs to be done to the NCLB Act but he isn't sure how to achieve that. The article states that both the Democrats and Republicans agree that there must be changes in the future but disagreements still remain on how. I hope that Obama will be able to find a solution to this very heavy problem that remains in the schools. Maybe something can be done instead of labeling all of these schools as failing.
