Welcome
Thank you for visiting.Before you do anything else, think about this: The achievement gap separating African-American and Latino students from white and Asian students has hardly narrowed since 1992, and remains bigger than 20 points...white students in the twelfth grade are, on average, four years ahead of their black peers...more than 23% of Latinos between ages 16 and 24 have dropped out of high school, compared to about 12% of African Americans and 7% of whites. And academic outcomes translate into life outcomes: dropouts are more likely to be jobless or earn less if they work; they're more likely to be incarcerated; and they have shorter life expectancies.
If you are shocked, saddened, and angered by an education system that would allow this for our kids, then get involved. If Americans are to succeed in today's globally competitive marketplace, then the time is now for education equality for all Americans and real education reform.
