One of the openning facts in this reading blew me away, "only five states will have a 20 percent (or more) increase in school enrollments; most states will have smaller increases and about nine states will have declines." How are we, as a nation, ever going to dig ourselves out of the "Trench of Segregation" if we can't keep the kids that are in school in school and bring new students into the schools? It's impossible. Schools are the building for success and the majority of people that are "successfull" (even though success is a super subjective word) went to school or had some kind of schooling. The only way that we ,as a nation ,are going to make everys "tomorrow" more successfull is by getting and keeping every kid in some kind of a school!
