Education in the Suburbs

It was really interesting to read about the migration of Spanish speaking families from urban areas to suburban areas and thereby bypassing some sort of integration period, curiously enough this is what is mostly happening in North Carolina. It is encouraging to see cases such as that described in the NY Times article in which the Frenbrook has significantly raised scores of Latino children. It was surprising that even though they had to do a lot of rearranging of staff and resources people have not complained about the changes. i.e no computer lab, fewer administrators, etc.

Hopefully school administrators will work to accommodate the needs of students before they receive failing test scores.
