- Not many people, especially the students themselves, can logically explain how their school was labeled with the grade it received.

- Much of today's legislation was written based on an allegation that teachers weren't doing their jobs effectively and unions supported them so let's decrease the amount of money they get. Since then research has shown that poverty and lack of family values is the driving force behind the lack of learning epidemic.
