July Update

I'm wondering whether the Obama Administration's education reform plan will actually result in positive change for students who are least well served.  Heard a story on NPR that made it seem iffy.  Hope that's not the case.  There are so many positive experiments and experiences by now (KIPP charter schools, for instance), it should be possible to make real progress.
