I hope to continue to integrate my policy & reform analysis with what I'm experiencing everyday at school. <br /> You're absolutely right to bring up rural schools.

Setting children and their teachers up to fail, then punishing them for failing in the name of education reform is the ultimate hypocrisy. <br />Also, it's not just an urban phenomena.
