afterschool and ayp stories

Two stories in today’s paper: a new report claims that afterschool programs are a failure and new federal testing requirements target kids who can’t speak English.
The first story there was a national exclusive until 5 p.m. yesterday, when the U.S. Department of Education went ahead and released the damned report I had an advance copy of. Damned P.R. people and their release of reports!
I said it on Friday and I’ll say it again: I need a weekend.
