Trying To Get Something Right!

President Barack Obama announced yesterday that he's pledging $900 million in federal dollars to target the lowest performing schools in an effort to improve drop out rates in our country. Calling the dollars "turn-around" grants the monies will go to states that are willing to take decisive action to cope with under performing schools. While many will say this is throwing bad money towards a bad asset, it will at least assist those schools trying to make the tough decisions regarding our educational system.
