Who Is Fighting For Our Children's Education?

There was an article printed in the WSJ this week, that made me stop and think...Who really has our children's best interests at hand?  I am interested in hearing your input about the latest news about 22 failing schools shutting down and the lawsuit filed from UFT and NAACP to keep them open.  Below you will find some questions surrounding this topic, feel free to use some of the questions to guide in your response or share your own thoughts.  Here is the link to WSJ article if you haven't read it http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB10001424052748703509104576331794114411956-lMyQjAxMTAxMDAwNjEwNDYyWj.html
