It's tough to turn page to get failing schools turned around Part Three of Three Justin Cohen, head of the school-turnaround group at Mass Insight Education in Boston. "Anybody that thought we were going to fix all these schools immediately was either deluded or lying." That's right. Failing schools contain mostly failing students. And they are failing because English is a second language, because many come from single parents who are unable or unwilling to support their kid's education; because they live in poverty and often have to work from a young age; because they don't have proper nourishment at home; because they don't get proper sleep and hygiene. Turning a failing school requires lots of well managed attention and money to make it happen.
