Just have to comment that I sooo agree with Bonita about getting more informed reporting on education from the press. Our local Jr. high school has failed to make AYP (because of a SPED sub group) and the headlines in the paper made us sound so terrible I wanted to scream. Nowhere did they say that every one of our nine elementary schools as well as our 2 high schools passed with above state averages. Nope, the headline read Town Schools Fail. I doubt any of the local reporters even know what NCLB means, yet alone how it works! Talk about frustrating. And yes, the way to fix this is to get more educators to write articles, letters to editor, etc. But for all my indignation, I never did either. We are our worst enemy! Kathy in CT
