Duncan Says 82 Percent of America's Schools Could "Fail" Under NCLB This Year | U.S. Department of Education

Duncan Says 82 Percent of America's Schools Could "Fail" Under NCLB This Year | U.S. Department of Education

Comparing apples to apples makes a whole lot of sense to me. Last year my current school set the bar so high that we're going to really struggle to do better than we did last year. The school's population has really changed because of what Arizona has done to education so we have a whole new set of kids.

It makes more sense to compare school's growth to that school's growth and intervene if it doesn't grow - not if it makes a stupid arbitrary standard.
