Study of Reading Program Finds a Lack of Progress
20th November 2008
The final version of the study, released yesterday by the U.S. Department of Education, found that students in schools that use Reading First, a program at the core of the No Child Left Behind law, scored no better on comprehension tests than students in similar schools that do not get the funding.
There’s a shocker: Government program doesn’t work while costing a bundle. Stop the presses.
The only surprise here is that they’re actually admitting it.
