Very informative article. The whole American education scene seems like a mess these days. This year's average score for the SAT verbal section being a historic low. High percentages of public school kids performing reading and math at below their grade level. 30% of students dropping out of high school instead of passing (though some will return to receive GEDs). High incidences of college freshmen dropping out because they weren't prepared to handle the workload. All those issues covered in "Waiting for Superman". Glad California is taking steps to fight back, especially for our heroes!
