When a school fails, who should get most of the blame?
Check out these statistics from Central Falls High School in Rhode Island:
- only 7% of 11th graders tested were proficient in math
- 33% were proficient in writing
- Just a little of half were proficient in reading
- Two years ago, only 52% graduated
This falls under a school restructuring plan supported by the federal government to save failing schools. Either teachers get more training and do more to help kids, or they're out. The teachers union wanted more pay for the extra work, but that wasn't in the plans. So is this a good idea? Should all the blame be put on teachers?
