"Rhee Tackles School Classroom Challenge."

After reading this article I am very shocked about the Washington School Systems.  I had no idea how low test scores could be. The scores in Washington are some of the lowest in the country, and that's our capital. It says a lot about the U.S. as a whole. Many parents want to send their children to suburban schools, but they just can't afford it so they are forced to send their children to these urban schools with terrible class scores and worse teachers. I hope that the students there can eventually improve in their academics, and many of them can get to the grade level of reading.
