"Study: Only "50-50" Chance of High School Graduation for U.S. Minority Students; Weak Accountability Rules Found"

"First ever survey of parents' attitudes towards No Child Left Behind shows there is no mandate from parents for NCLB policy"

American children have a right to the very best education we can give them. Our public schools have long been one of our country's greatest strengths. An educated and informed citizenry—capable of independent thought and unafraid to ask tough questions of our leaders—is the very heart of a vibrant democracy.

Results for America is a project to advocate for those whose voices most need to be heard in the coming year, the people most directly affected by decisions made in Washington, D.C., state houses and corporate boardrooms around the country. Our education initiative, the Campaign to Put Learning Back in Education, is designed to focus public attention on current education policy, put some proven solutions front and center and bring the voices of parents, students and communities back into the discussion on public education.

We hope you find this information helpful. Please make use of this and all other resources available in the education toolkit, to demand real leadership on education. Our children and our democracy deserve nothing less.
