Go Back To School 2007-2008 Edition

A new school year brings new challenges and new possibilities. The No Child Left Behind Act and the Higher Education Act are both up for renewal in Congress, states and localities face funding shortages that could impact school budgets, the need for teachers of math, science and special education grows as older educators prepare to retire. AP classes are being taken by more and more students, even as the focus on student achievement - especially in urban schools - takes higher importance.
