"Sixty-nine percent of fourth-graders and 77 percent of eighth-graders scored below basic skill levels in math on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a standardized test that serves as a nationwide yardstick in measuring student learning." Robert Bobb, DPS Emergency Financial Manager, blames "school principals and a failing curriculum that doesn't prepare students for the national test." (Detroit News, 12/8/09)
