We often hear about how our public education system is a failure. Politicians and pundits love to talk about what needs to happen in order to fix our "broken" system, yet rarely do they have a real understanding of what it takes to make a school succeed.

We watched the President's speech in the cafeteria of our elementary school today.

As I was walking out of school at the end of the day, I noticed that my student "A" from last year was in tears. I asked her what was wrong, and she handed me a paper and said, "This is no good!"

The paper had her test scores from the end of year exams from last year.
