It was no surprise that Education Secretary Arne Duncan picked a Newark charter school for his first “official” visit to New Jersey in early June.

One of the big problems with the No Child Left Behind Act is its failure to deliver on the promise to allow kids in low-performing schools to transfer to better performing institutions. Only about 1% of students transfer under the Act’s provisions, in part because in many urban districts, there are very few good schools to transfer into. Continue Reading on the Taking Note Blog.
