New urgency on dropouts

We hope that the new statistics on dropouts we mention in today's editorial will create a sense of urgency in the Valley to redouble all efforts to coach students at risk of dropping out. There are bright and talented people in the district who know how to create schools that work for kids. So why aren't people listening to them?

What do you think?

People aren't listening to them because everyone's hands are tied by NCLB. There are many great teachers out there who are being suffocated (professionaly) by NCLB.
