Pictures: Empty Desks At The Washington Monument
Thanks to whomever posted this photo of Arne Duncan on Facebook. He's standing in front of a representation of each day's tally of high school dropouts set up by the College Board -- sort of an AIDS quilt for education failure. (Those 857 Desks? A Message for the Candidates NYT)
That definitely captures the dropout rate better than any statistics I've ever seen. What a shame.
