Educate all kids

Scarsdale, N.Y.: It was 1988 when former Schools Chancellor Richard Green stated: “In the final analysis, we must remember that we will be judged by only one standard — the extent to which we have improved achievement scores for all students.” This quest holds even today. Leaders came to Albany with parents, teachers and children to address the need for equity and fairness in education for the poor. It’s all hands on deck. The time is now, because the children are waiting for an education which will ensure a brighter future.
