Poor Kids Losing Out In City Schools

Recent data from the U.S. Department of Education shows that being poor is directly correlated to educational achievement.  This report does not break out students with special education needs but there can not be any question that as awful as these numbers are for poor city children, they would be geometrically worse for poor students with special education needs. The question that remains unanswered is why Washington D.C. lags even when other factors are factored out. I guess before the current Prez takes his "victory lap" as the "Education President" he should look in his immediate backyard to see how many children are being left behind and will be in the future.
