Чикагское гороно пошло на необычный шаг. Оно закрывает три самые плохие (по результатам тестирования) школы. "We've tried money. We've tried cooperation. We've tried programs. And the fact of the matter is, we are just not getting the kind of performance that we need," Board President Michael Scott said. "If we don't start these children off on a different course, we are doomed ... with never, ever seeing those children have an opportunity."

Родители детей из закрывающихся школ возмущены! They said the school is a crucial anchor for the community, providing after-school activities and free health care for low-income residents.
