Literature
While I am focusing more on scholarly articles pertaining to my research, I have come across two books entitled, "No Child Left Behind" and "America's 'Failing' Schools" which will give more substance to two of the areas I am exploring more in depth in regards to NCLB. "No Child Left Behind" by Primer, gives an in-depth yet "readable" :) analysis of the policy. "America's 'Failing' Schools" helps with the solution component examining programs and strategies enacted. I can use what is suggested in the text to identify what is being accomplished at Merrill & Wright.

Chelsea,
Have you met with the prinicpal over at Wright? She has done some really impressive things in regards to school improvement at Wright to bring up her test scores. It is also very interesting hearing about the lack of funding or assistance Wright recieved after being labeled as "failing". I have also had discussions with her regarding attempts to keep the student body from becoming too homogeneous. All of these sound like topics that are relevant to you thesis. I am sure she would be more than happy to meet with you if you call her.
