Dumbing down the sheeple! 1 in 10 schools are 'dropout factories'

No Child Left Behind my ass. Forty percent ain't a great accomplishment.

It's a nickname no principal could be proud of: "Dropout Factory," a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That dubious distinction applies to more than one in 10 high schools across America. "If you're born in a neighborhood or town where the only high school is one where graduation is not the norm, how is this living in the land of equal opportunity?" asks Bob Balfanz, the researcher at Johns Hopkins University who defines such a school as a "dropout factory."

Sorry. I made a huge mistake and offered a fact. How not-right-wing of me.
