According to link below, Obama as a head of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which he listed as one of his accomplishments during the election, threw money at this school, Bradwell Elementary. Too bad for this years' eigth grade class he never bothered to follow-up.

mmmmm.....Throwing money that you didn't earn at a problem to solve it. WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!!!!!!

Perhaps it has something to do with calling a 60% failure rate “falling through the cracks”...

To normal people that is a chasm devouring people...

No doubt the children, the teachers and parents self esteem is unaffected because it is all about how you feel about yourself, not what you accomplish or fail to accomplish...

And now the same leftest mentality that produces the above is trying to apply it to the country and our allies and enemies alike...

Massive failure on the way...

At Myra Bradwell Elementary School, 44 out of 77 students did not pass the eighth grade.

But don't worry. With Affirmative Action, they will all get full scholarships to Ivy League schools.

Failure in all respects, but the MSM will not report on it.

"South Shore African Village Collaborative Network"

I think I've narrowed down the problem.
