Hope this finds its way to the email inbox of every APS employee at [b]Central[/b], not to mention every principal.  Very interesting read.  I'm a liberal.  But I hate how we think we're just smarter than everyone else.  So, before someone comes in and points out flaws in these reports or exaggerations about the gains being made in these shockingly poor communities, how about we take a step back and applaud the work being done by the teachers and the communities at large down there.  Shows what is possible, even on a low budget.  [/quote]

Who calls it “Central”?

Outside agitators…

Mostly employees call it Syphax, the average parent doesn’t know the name of the building. It’s insane to me that people would be against research-based interventions just because they came from conservative “lesser” states[/quote]

Go back and see the reaction to GW Bush’s literacy/education initiatives.  It’s discussed in the Sold A Story podcast. People disregarded solid methods because they didn’t agree with the politics of those trying to enact them. [/quote]

NCLB?

It was a terrible idea independent of politics.
