There has been a flurry of education coverage on the nightly news in the last three weeks (53 mins v 17 annual average). We have seen laudatory profiles of charter academies in Lansing Mich by NBC's John Yang, in Harlem NY by CBS' Michelle Miller and in Chicago by ABC's David Muir. We have heard about curriculum revision from ABC's Chris Bury and CBS' Mark Strassmann and NBC's Rehema Ellis. CBS' Cynthia Bowers and NBC's Yang have told us about budget cuts and inner city school closings in Kansas City. The No Child Left Behind law led to mass firings of high school teachers in Rhode Island as described by ABC's Dan Harris and NBC's Mike Taibbi and CBS' Jim Axelrod. Possible changed in the NCLB law have been mooted by CBS' Ben Tracy and NBC's Ellis. Now comes Ron Claiborne on ABC with the latest results in reading and math standardized tests, as analyzed by the Center for Educational Policy. The report is "very good news for girls but it describes what amounts to a crisis for the nation's boys."
