Therein lies the problem. How? In general, bad schools suffer from a lack of funding and the political will to do something about it.

As far as I understand, "failing" school isn't about just money. It's more an atmosphere thing. Of course, the atmosphere comes with most pupils' poor background, but you wouldn't fix that by throwing money at school. ButnNot that it would hurt, too.

The answer is to stop funding schools locally. Until that's done, nothing we do education-wise matters.

You want the Federal government to fix the school system?

I want the federal government to fund the school system; I'm neutral towards federal standards, although we already have those in the form of NCLB.

The current system ensures that the people who need the most help get the least.
