Well if you cannot pass a SOL then why would the teacher be teaching them anything else to start with. Remember this is basic skills not rocket science they have to pass. Maybe he could make it easier for a school to fire a teacher who has over 5 years in the system who is not performing. We allready spend how much on a failing system so lets just throw more money at a failing system. Until we take control over the schools and get parent involvement there is nothing that the fed goverment can do to improve schools. Maybe make it manditory that parents attend parents night or other things or they get fined.
