QUOTE of NOTE - Rep. Chaka Fattah - Brief Article

Black Issues in Higher Education, July 5, 2001

"If poor kids do not have certified teachers, if they don't have updated textbooks, if their class sizes are twice as large and their school districts are underfunded, then why ask for test results that are clearly skewed? If students do not have comparable opportunities, they will not have comparable results."

-- Rep. Chaka Fattah, D-Pa., on the need to assure equal education for rich and poor children in the president's education reform bill.
