Today's Ny Times has an article about the companies that are being hired to tutor children enrolled in failing schools. I gather that the No Child Left Behind Act requires school districts to offer free tutoring to students enrolled in failing schools. This has created a $200 million a year, publically financed business that is virtually unregulated. This is not to say that none of the companies involved do a good job but there seems to be plenty of problems out there requiring some oversight.
Does anyone know whether our schools are using these companies or similar entities? http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/04/education/04tutor.html Charlie Swope Ward 1 ------------------------------------------------- JOIN the St. Paul Issues Forum TODAY: http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/ ------------------------------------------------- POST MESSAGES HERE: [email protected] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
