If you do not mind me asking...what does the mandate consist of in a nutshell? What bothers me is the statistic referring to the reading levels of African American males. As a person who works with this age group daily, it is very discouraging when you find that the majority of students cannot read past an elementary level. This is a major snowball effect because if you cannot read or comprehend then you cannot answer state test questions accurately (which I find to be a joke in the first place). Things need to take place in our elementary schools to correct this problem...i.e. do away with social promotions!
